From my experience practically anything that Don Scott modifies has the potential of being one of the top ten tuners. He has done two for me: the MDFT101A and the KENWOOD L-07T. In each of them he flushed out an unbeleiveable level of performance. He gave each their own unique character and presence in my system. I am an avid FM listener. It would be very hared to believe that a KT L-07T modified by Scott is not easily among the top five tuners.
Don told me that TU-9900 is one of the best !
My personal experience points that it is better than the highly regarded TU-919.
I must say, that the KT 9900 is the best tuner I have ever heard. I had a couple of highly regarded ones, but this one
stands out above all of them. I couldn't afford to keep it, and it was in such new like condition. I have a Luxman T 14 that Don Scott recommended, that is very vice sounding, that
I will have modded soon.
Rhode + Schwarz, handmade ugly looking bitches from Germany.
All handbuild to the highest possible degree.
Price new in the 70 at about 17.000USD. That says it all.
They did a version with tubes as well. It is so good that even my spectral CD Combination seams a joke against that staff.
Here in Germay you get it rearly and mostly in poor Conditions starting from 1.500 to 4000 USD depending on the state .
The second best i have heard is the Kenwood L-01T, or 03T
Very good very rare.
It depends on the RF situation, For DXing the Yamaha T-85 or
T-80 as well as the Onkyo 9090 series 2 are up to the task.
For audio quality when a clean, un-compressed signal is available (A good rooftop is required as well). The Mac 77
0r 78, as well as the sansui TU-9900 come to mind.
