The CT 7000 is indeed one of the all time classic tuners. For what it's worth, both Stereophile and Absolute Sound rated this tuner as their highest classification in its day. It's not too often they agree! Interestingly, when you can find one, the price is less than lesser units. I finally found one a few years ago. My last tuner.

PS: Old audiophile trivia question: Which tuner replaced the great Marantz 10B as Class A tuner in the old JGH Stereophile listings? Answer: The Yamaha CT-7000, of course.
