Top 10 is just too much, how about this, I will give you top 5
1.) REL Precedent
This is the best tuner I have ever had in my life. It's mono, you will need a Multiplex Adaptor; but the sound is very musical, the HI is transparent and the resolution is just great. I prefer this tuner over Marantz 10B. However, you will one very lucky man if you can bump into a chance to get one. Many people have the money for it but just couldn't find it.
2.) Marantz 10B
Of course, this one. Doesn't sound "the best" but hey, it is a legend and it is still considered "great sounding" Many for sale here and there.
3.) SCOTT 4310
The top of the line model of HH Scott back then. Better resolution then 10B but just not quite musical but this tuner is the most sensative one I have ever encountered! Details are everywhere ~! I still have one at home which I listen to seldomly.
4.) McIntosh MR-78
The best sounding McIntosh tuner I have heard. Better the MR-71 in sound quality, but harder to find. If you can name Marantz in one of the top 5, McIntosh will be right next to it =)
5.) Sequerra Model 1
Not too many sold, very hard to find. The only solid state tuner I think which is well worth collecting. This beauty doesn't sound as good as tube but hey it sounds the best among the same kind (solid state). I wanted to buy one but due to the low production of this model, the price is crazy. Last piece I saw was sold for $4750 USD ~! ~! ~! Marantz 10B x 2 =O
