Top Ten Tuners of all Time??

The Sansui 919 is everything they say it is on the tuner site mentioned above. Mine is not yet modified..but will be someday in the not too distant future.....it is amazing how something this old,,,can sound this good.

The Mcintosh MR-80 is commonly mistaken as a digital tuner because of its digital readout. It is in fact an analog tuner. The MR-80 has a wonderfull full sound with great stereo separation. It has the classic McIntosh sexy look and cost $2500 when new in 1980-1985. To build this tuner now would cost an exorbitant amout of money. And McIntosh still provides full service on this tuner.

I'm still using a Marantz 20 which I bought new in 1970. I had it updated about 10 years ago with new caps and rca.
It was the transistor version of the 10b and was one of the last items designed by Saul Marantz team and built in USA before Marantz was sold to Superscope and made in Japan.
I took it to a Yamaha technical test years ago when they came out with the T1 & T2, and their technicians were amazed by its performance. Its probably not a "best" today, but they don't build them like that anymore.

Marantz 10B, I wish I still had mine!

Of the dozen or two vintage tuners I own, I would have to say the Accuphase T100, the Kenwood 600T, and Sansui Tu919 provide the broadest soundstage and great sound from top to bottom. The Yamaha CT-7000 and McIntosh MR-80 are wonderful in their own right and beautiful to look at. Recently picked up a Sanyo Plus 35 recently that is a real sleeper, a great bargain for a very nice tuner. But for a real audiophile tuner I would choose the Accuphase T100 or T101 (FM only).
