I am thinking about buying an empeg but really, really need a tuner as I want to have the empeg drive an amp directly, and I am a National Public Radio and Howard Stern fanatic.

How easy is it to find tuners? The FAQ points to the PCATS tuner but the PCATS web site is stale. I just got outbid last night on eBay in the last 30 sec on a unit w/ a tuner, and there don't seem to be many units going on sale w/ tuners.

If I can't find one w/ a tuner, I will probably just skip the whole thing and get a regular CD deck and buy an empeg later when I can afford both ;^(
