The best tuner


I am looking for a tuner that has GREAT reception and an analog sound. Perhaps, with tubes as is my other equiptment. Thank you for your, highly regarded, advise!

Lots of great analog tuners to be had cheap on ebay!
Sansuis & Luxmans in addition to the already mentioned Mac and Scotts. Cheers,

Don't over look Accuphase T100's and T101's. They are outstanding and built like a tank. I picked one up on Audiogon a couple of years ago based on the writeup in FM tunerinfo.com. It was better than I expected and much better than any previous tuner I had owned. Excellent front end and very neutral and balanced sound, much like very high quality tube gear, not thin and washed out like a lot of the more recent tuners.
Have a accuphase T 101 but better to have a Kenwood or sansui or Mac. Comparing f.e. kenwood 8100 with the T 101 choice is easy.This T101 is much too light the T100 too dark in sound.Accuphase is for the name and outside attractive that´s it. Kenwood or Sansui Macs a.o. much better balanced for all kind of music.Have upgraded tuners and the result with a kenwood or sansui is a joy. No accuph.can match them but need be upgraded. They better the sound of cd-player(sony 707/505es).An older analoque tuner-good quality original-is with an upgrade unbeatable..
I have the Marantz 20B, Sansui 919, Sansui 9900, Kenwood L-01 and L-02 and have heard most of the other great tuners. By far the best I have ever heard is the Kenwood L-02 in about every respect.
