I have always loved the old (pre-'84 [pre-Alpine]) Luxman receivers. One of my daughters is still using my old R-1040 that I bought while I was in high school. Good amp, very good phono stage, so-so tuner.
I gave a Marantz 2235 to a nephew. He loves it and the tuner seems to be pretty good. While I haven't seen one in years I see to remember that folks really liked the old Tandberg receivers. Not too many of them around, but as I recall they were very high quality units.
