Top Ten Tuners of all Time??

The Sony XDR-F1HD is very good in stock form. When modified by the XDR Guy, it is ridiculously good. Sensitivity and selectivity are unbelievable. The sound quality is top notch as well. I have a Philips tuner that is out for modifications/rebuild. It will be very interesting to compare the finished Philips to the XDR. The Philips has an unbelievable, sound quality wise, AM section. Never before has AM sounded so good, to these ears. 

@wturkey My XDRGuy modded Sony XDR-F1HD is great for the price. It is not as good as my Magnum Dynalab MD 102 but comes close at 1/5th the cost. The Sony is better at reception of weaker signals.

I should probably add a Yamaha T-2 and an honorable mention for the M-D Etude to my above list.  I forgot about the T-2 because once restoration work was finished I put it away for a rainy day and recently brought it back out. Very difficult to work on and align, but once done, the RF is great and the audio is spectacular.  The Etude sounds GREAT, and the RF is no slouch, but not as selective as classic analog variable capacitor designs, at least in my experience.  A case can be made (and is made on the FM Tuner group page) that they're overpriced for what's contained in their internal parts, but if user interface/tactile positive feedback (a plus for the MR78 also, I confess, those two probably TOP that very competitive category for vintage tuners) are worth anything, those two are way up there.  Mass loaded flywheel tuning knobs are a thing of true beauty!
