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.

I'm listening to a Nakamichi ST-7 in my basement system. Not really high-end but it still sounds really good with the only NPR/classical  stations that are worth listening to in my area (WGUC and WVXU). Using a really cheap wire dipole on the wall I get 4 out of 4 bars on the strength display. Upstairs the built-in tuner of my Marantz 8805 prepro is surprisingly good hooked up to my attic space FM dipole. The advantage of the Marantz is that I can get internet radio, and so of course there is a huge choice there. SQ of internet radio is very spotty, but the BBC and Classic FM feeds sound quite good. In any case both of my FM options sound better than a Marantz ST59 tuner I bought in the late 90s to feed my Sony preamp back then.
