Given your location and the need to pick up distant stations.

1 - T-85
2 - L-01T
3 - KT-5020
4 - ST-A6B
5 - ST-S730ES

Ranking would be different if you were to ask which sounds the best.

Just my humble opinion. Sure others might disagree.

Thank you Punker. You are highly recommended here.
Would love to hear your ranking for sound as well?
Thank you!

Once you find the spare time to get your Pioneer F-28 up and running properly, I'll bet it creeps into the top 3. I simply cannot believe how good mine sounds now that the attic antenna is properly oriented. It sounds better than any of my other (numerous) good tuners including a Mac MR71, Yamaha CT-800, Pioneer TX-9100, TX-900, F-91, Marantz 120 and so on. Great imaging and super quiet that literally makes it disappear on the local, high quality NPR station, 107.3 WBBT.

OP gave a list and asked a ranking based on a small antenna and being in the country. Not that sure any of those tuners would be on my top 5 list for my personal use.

Many people have tried to get that info out of me. I've had the same Marantz 2130 in my system for over 20 years. Love the looks as much as the sound. Not that good at DX'ing though. I've had many TU-919's. Mainly because it matches my AU-919 and that sounds perfect with the Ohm I's that I've had over 20 years.
