What are some of the better tuners out there?

What are some of the better tuners out there? I am enjoying my Magnum Dynalab MD106T. I find myself at the mercy of reception and clean ac but when all is right the sound is quite nice. I’ve found good results with Amperage tubes but I find tubes too inconvenient in that they burn out too quickly.

A Sansui TU-777 is my favorite.  I have had a few tuners over the years but this one seems to be the best of the lot.

@ancient_tones  Pay attention to the discrimination and selectivity circuits of the tuner, the old tube units don't have the good specs the newer SS units have.  Regardless of how good the Sound Quality output is, if it can't handle bleeding in from other stations or distant ones, when you want to listen to one, then SQ becomes a minor issue.

As for sound level, I can't argue with a tube unit.
