My research led me to buy a few fine tuners over three years, and my favorite is a Tandberg TPT 3001A. Smooth sound suited to all formats of music, nails the station, and reproduces the full range of lows, mids, and highs, with great balance. Glad to purchase this and the others years back, as they are scarce and spendy today. I listen to it for hours and never touch it. What more is there? Others I own are Crown FM3, Sansui TU-X1, and Luxman T-117. They all are close, yet the 3001A, to my brain, plays slightly more accurate and superior through tube preamp, planar ribbons and dual subs.
