Best tube AM/FM tuner

I am currently using a Yamaha CT610 II tuner and, while I like it for the 20 bux it cost me, I would like something a bit better and possibly a tube unit. I am thinking McIntosh since they hold their value well especially if you acquire one in nice cosmetic condition. Only problem is the only tube McTuner I can think of is the MR65.

I understand from my review of the fmtunerinfo website that Mctuners are pretty good but not "the best" by any stretch. I am willing to have the thing modified/upgraded if that is what it takes. Anybody here with extensive experience with tubed McTuner units pref the MR65??

Thanks,
Carl

The best? Only the best this week. Lots of cool tube tuners each with their own character. My suggestion after owning 50-60 different tuners is to listen to as many as you can and find one that appeals toYOU. You have specific likes and dislikes in your listening. Find your groove.
Good ones to try list:

Scott mono tuners with the external MPX adapter. After a going through and alignment by a GOOD tech-Hard to believe!

Fisher 200, KM-60. Good and cheap

Scott 350 good also and cheap
