I've heard folks on the net say that the Carver tuner costs $650. The receiver -- 130 W/ch, plus lots of other nice stuff -- lists for only $750, and discounts are starting to become available. I bought one in a real store, non-mail order, for $675 last October. If you think you might want to upgrade your amplifier at the same time, you might just be better off with the whole receiver.
