Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?

I've had an Accuphase T-100 for slightly less than ten years now and listen to it daily.  Every time I listen to it, I can't help but to think about how amazing it is.  The soundstage width, depth, instrument separation, and tone is so good.  It's much better than my CD player.  Is there anything else that's in the same league?  I have space on my rack and listen to so much FM radio that I thought it might be fun to get another tuner, possibly tube, to switch back and forth when the mood strikes.  I'm intrigued by some of the vintage tube tuners out there, but don't want to waste my time unless I know that it's at least equal in performance to the Accuphase.

So, if you have experience with the great Accuphase T-100 and something else that's just as good or better, please let me know what the other tuner is and how it compares.  I would love to hear about it!

The signal over Jazz 88.5 in Minneapolis is better than any CDP under a
thousand bucks . Perhaps because their Tascams cost a lot more than that .PBS Classical will stand up with any 500 $ CDP .
Both stations have superb plays lists !
According to 2018 Nielson Jazz 88 has the largest audience share of ANY jazz station
in the USA and it is as holographic as the recording is . Owned by , believe it or not , by the Minneapolis School Board .
I owned a Accu back in the day , my English MYRYAD is for all intents and purposes , about the same .

Hi ketchup,
Most of my experience was with Magnum Dynalab, however, I recently saw a Sequerra for sale.  Don't remember where but it would have been A'gon, Audiomart or EBay.   It is supposed to the best tuner ever made.
