Best reasonably priced classic hi-end tuner

Hi fellow Audiogoners - I am looking for a classic FM tuner that won't break the bank. I understand the early McIntosh tuners such as the MR 67, 71 and 78 are highly regarded but there are conflicting opinions as to which sounds best. I would love a Marantz 1O B, but i don't have $3,000 to spend. I welcome your timely thoughts on the Mac's and am open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks in advance.

Check out a Carver TX-11a.

Can be had very reasonably.

+1 for Accuphase T100....very very good tuner...also have McIntosh MR71 which is also very good. The Tandberg 3001 and even the 3011 are also very good...can't beat old analog tuners IMHO

I have had an Audiolab 8000T for years -- great sound, well reviewed, AM/FM, and no problems. These come up occasionally on A'gon. Good luck.
