I have the Sansui 717, 719, 919, and 9900. From the Kenwood side, have the 8300 and KT917.
From the Yamaha line, I have a hot rodded T-2 and the CT7000. The audio stage on the T-2 is completely redone with Vishay resistors....HUGE improvement in resolution.....
919 is really good, great ability to pull in a station. Better than the 700 series, and 8300. Similar to the 917. The 9900 is really nice too. depending on prices, any of the top tuners from that era are going to be good.
When you get to the top tuners from Japan in that era, the majors were throwing real engineering horsepower at FM improvements. Even if the alignment is off a tad, they still sound really good.
Now all you need is a good signal for them to pull in.....
