It looks like this issue was taken into consideration in the design of the Sansui TU990. I use a modified version of this tuner. The TU9900 has an antenna attenuator button on the front panel (not the result of a modification; it was sold new with this feature)... I am not really sure if this leads to "quality attenuation" or not, but with some super strong signals it does sometimes improve sound; in which case I don't hesitate to use it. Looking at the photos of the TU-X1, I am surprised to not find such a feature.

I live where FM program quality justifies a good tuner. Despite getting what I consider to be really excellent sound from this modded TU9900, I will one day compare it to a TU-X1. I will post my findings here.
