Any recommendation for a modern FM tuner


While I am considering several classic tuners, I am wondering if any of the modern FM tuners are any good. What modern FM tuners should I consider? Why do people say that the vintage tuners sound better than the modern tuners?
What modern FM tuners are recommended? Thanks

Phew! My recommendation to chase the older (1990-ish) NAD Monitor Series tuner (4300?) or receivers (7100, 7400, 7600) for a fine cheap tuner is based on my empirical results that they perform much better than newer ones (like my NAD T751 HT receiver), but certainly not as life-like as my new Magnun Dynalab 100. Can't understand how Ryan slams the MDs. This $1k newbie sounds GREAT!
Hey, an MD100 is only $1k used/discounted. As a kid I was a HAM, and last year bought a vintage Hallicrafters "high end for its 1955 era" receiver, and finally delight in having SIX switchable IF window widths! Keeps Radio Rwanda et al from being swamped by the big guys....
