I currently own:

Kenwood KT-8300 (bought on New Year's Eve 2009 for $220 via local Craigslist. Looks like new).

Accuphase T-101 (bought new in 1975, when I was in 8th grade. Also bought E-202 at same time. Paid on lay-away until my mom offered to pay-off the balance for my birthday. Otherwise, I'd still be paying. The owner of the local record shop carried TEAC and had these set-up on loan from TEAC distributor as as demonstrators. To my knowledge, no one in my town ever ordered any Accuphase; mostly Realistic Optimus from Radio Shack)

Dyna FM3 (bought new as a kit directly from Dynaco when I was in 10th grade. I was facsinated by the tuning eye).

Insignia HD-TUNE (Best Buys for $49 on sale. Bargain HD FM performer. Bought in November 2009 to experiment with HD FM before investing in a more expensive HD FM tuner.)

Sansui TU-9900 (bought it and CA-2000 pre-amp new from local stereo shop when I was in high school and paid on lay-away. I thought it was way-cooler than the Accuphase T-101. Now, I think the T-101 is way-cooler.)
I defy anybody to tell the difference between a Pioneer F-91 or an F-93. If there is any, it's the 93's superior separation and S/N. After spending years investigating what people's beef was with it, it turns out that somebody offered it up for a mod operation to one of the Mac kingpins, and they declined because it was "complex". The next thing you know it was ganged up on (no pun intended) in a Stereophile review with some Brit Tuners (post JA's arrival) and was recommended, but only after having been compared to a CD player's un-broadcast signal. (Suspect to the point of being self explanatory really......)
Well, I don't know about my coming up with Top-10 of ALL TIME. I can only come up what my life's experiences were based on.

Entry-Level -- NAD 4125 (which was part of my 7125 Stereo Receiver which I have purchased 25 Years Ago), and the NAD 4155 (which IS LISTED).

Mid-Level/Upper-End -- Magnum Dynalab FT-101 (which I currently own, and have owned since 2001), and a Yamaha T-2 (a beautiful Low Profile FM Only Tuner I would love to seek out and find should I FINALLY part with my DEARLY BELOVED Magnum Dynalab FT-101)

And My Dream Tuner(s) would be (if I had the money to buy one):

(01). Day Sequerra Reference
(02). Accuphase T-103
(03). Accuphase T-109
(04). Magnum Dynalab MD-109
