My Technics ST9030 FM with 8, yes EIGHT gangs in the front end, sounds best, and more natural than the clinical sound of carriage trade units like previously owned MR78's and Magnum Dynalabs. It has 'the look'.
The rounded tube sound of my several Scotts from 310E's to LT110's is going out of favour and anyway they are not nearly as selective. Toshibas are no slouch either.
The best of my Scotts has been a 310D / 335 Mpx pair. Soon to arrive is a Kenwood KT8300 with uber mods. and also a Sansui ST 717...said to have 'audiophile sound'.
Don't take everything that the tunerinfocentre says as gospel, though they are a fabulous reference! The key is to have an FM station that broadcasts live music...a rarity these days.
Plus use your own ears too, tuners vary a lot.
