Here are what i rate as the best tuners. First, the best Analog tuners. Hands down, the best tuner ever, was the Yamaha CT7000 tuner. This Tuner has a sweetness that has to be heard. Plus the tuning knob is very light and flys across the dial. Also, the Yamaha T2 was a nice tuner, but not as good as the CT 7000 tuner. Other great Analog Tuners were, the Pioneer TX 9800, Accuphase T100, Kenwood, KT 917, KT 8300, Luxman T 110, Luxman 5T 10, Luxman 5T 50, Mcintosh MR 78, Tandberg 3001 tuner, Technics, 9030, Sansui Also made great tuners in the late 70s, the TU 717, TU 919, TU 9900 and the TUX1 The only thing i didn't like about the Sansui TU 9900 tuner. The tuning knob was heavy and it had these grooves i didn't like. But the Sansui Tuners did sound great. The best digital tuners are, the Revox B261 and Revox 760 tuner, Onyko 9090 tuner, Accuphase T109 tuner, Carver TX 11A tuner, Sony 707es, Sony STS 50es and Sony STJ 88B tuner, Denon TU 800, Nakamichi ST 7, Mcintosh MR 80 tuner
