Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....


Things like the CT-7000 from Yamaha, other Marantz, Magnum, Fisher, Scott or any others.  It would be good for us "tuner people" to hear your experience with older, former SOTA tuners.  Thanks.

Over the years......

Lux T110, Tandberg 3012, McIntosh MR78, Scott 4310 (Foster Blair fixed it up for me), Three different Scott 310-B w 335mpx (all fixed up by Foster), Yamaha CT-7000, Sansui TU-X1 (aligned, upgraded, recapped).

By far the best is the only one I still have.  The Sansui.  One good classical station in the area still makes it worthwhile.  Channel Master TV-7? Antennae mounted in attic.  Incredible sound quality.

One of the Three Scott 310-b I had was my prior vintage favorite, simply terrific.  The 4310 was probably the most exotic but a little scary with all the controls and so many tubes.
One correction and one addition.....
