Best vintage receivers for FM?


For 2nd or even 3rd systems (inc. my workshop) I am thinking of buying an older receiver or two. Most of the listening time will be FM stations...and even in 2nd type of systems I do want good sonics....my FM listening has been on tuners like the MD-108 and Sansui TU-919.......so-so sound is not o.k.

What do you think of the following list of candidates, or can you suggest others?

1. Yamaha CR-1000 or CR-2020.
2. Sansui 9090 or G-9000.
3. Nakamichi SR-3a.
4. Sony STR-6800SD.

Thanks.....

A modded vintage tuner can be absolute outstanding and cost is little compared to what you can spend for much less. A modded Kenwood Kt 7500 I have amazes me still after two years. You can also go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FMtuners/

These guys know all there is to know about vintage or modern tuners. You'll find you're on the right track with the vintage tuners. I like the way they look better too. I should add a friend bought a Magnum Ft101, his reaction was that he was very disappointed considering the money he spent. He said it sounded no better than his Denon 747 tuner from the eighties that he paid 40 dollars for. I didn't hear them side by side but heard both at different times and my impression of the Magnum that it was a bad joke for the 700 I believe he paid. Go for a modded vintage or at least a good used Sansui 717 or something similar. Those usually go for a good 250 but there's some other tuners that sound decent for under a 100 depending on what you care to spend.
A Marantz 4400 Quad Receiver had an outstanding FM Tuner.
I know I use to own 2 of these.Also any Heathkit Receiver from the 70"s made outstanding FM Tuners in their receivers.
But if your looking for just a stand alone FM Tuner then you have several choices from the early 70's as previously mentioned on this post.
Luxman 1120A, exceptional tuner and better sounding preamp/power than almost any of the pieces mentioned above. I've owned many of them. You may find a slightly better tuner, but not the combination.
Everyone is replying with tuner answers, I thought the question was for a receiver? Get a Tandberg receiver 2055 or higher model, some of the Pioneers are also good and of course have it tuned.
The Kyocera R-861 has been the best receiver I have had. I've even used it as a tuner/preamp feeding a tube amplifier. The matching DA-610CX CD player still does a credible job. Even the lesser R-461 does a good job as a receiver. I see where the Harman Kardon 930 has been recommended because of haaving a good tuner. Actually, from my own experience, I praise the 930, 730, 630 Harman Kardons for having very good amplifiers, all having double mono amps with individual amp power supplies. The High Fidelity Magazine 4/76 review of the HK 730 receiver showed it to have the best square wave response I have ever seen for a receiver amplifier. The Marantz receivers of that era did not match the HK in amplifier performance although many such as the Marantz 2325 had immense power and it is a credible and durable receiver. I still have one working as new after thirty years of service.
