I've owned the T-100, the Sansui 717, Magnum Dynacrap 101, Macintosh MR71, and several others. I stopped years ago with the finest fm stereo tuner ever made- the Marantz 10b. Then the finest mono fm tuner- the REL Precedent and finally, the best Am mono tuner- the Fisher AM-80. I would add that the tuner sections found in the Fisher 400/500C receivers and the Marantz 18 are commendable...
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?
I've had an Accuphase T-100 for slightly less than ten years now and listen to it daily. Every time I listen to it, I can't help but to think about how amazing it is. The soundstage width, depth, instrument separation, and tone is so good. It's much better than my CD player. Is there anything else that's in the same league? I have space on my rack and listen to so much FM radio that I thought it might be fun to get another tuner, possibly tube, to switch back and forth when the mood strikes. I'm intrigued by some of the vintage tube tuners out there, but don't want to waste my time unless I know that it's at least equal in performance to the Accuphase.
So, if you have experience with the great Accuphase T-100 and something else that's just as good or better, please let me know what the other tuner is and how it compares. I would love to hear about it!
