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 got lucky and located a NOS McIntosh MR-67 FM tuner.  I restored the power supply -- up-graded the discriminator, Multiplex board, and audio section with parts such as stacked-film polycarbonate capacitors, Teflon capacitors, and modern Roderstein metal-film resistors, and the like.  The sound I have been getting from this vintage yet text-book FM tuner is as good as the FM station broadcasting.  I mean that in some cases it is as good as a good CD.  Before that I had a Magnum Dynalab Tuner -- that by direct comparison with the MR-67 was, in my opinion, a piece of junk.  The MR-67 design followed the established standards of the original FM stereo patents.  NICE!!!
