The best sounding FM Tuner is.....

OK Magnum Dynalab, Fanfare, Day Sequerra, etc. owners...I have no "high end" dealer in my area that carries a great tuner. I probably will not have the chance to listen to or 'a/b' compare a tuner before I decide to purchase. I'm asking anyone with comparison experience or anyone that feels that the own the best to respond in this discussion. Thanks, I look forward to reading your responses!

Naim NAT 01 is a damn fine tuner but goes for silly money secondhand and thereby only chased by sadists and those with more money than sense,lol.
Then again Meridian did a tuner a thousand years ago the 104,
sounded rather good if my memory serves me.

The best sounding I have direct experience with was the tuner in a Tandberg TR2080 receiver. Tandberg separates are supposedly even better.

I have a Carver tx11-a that is also pretty good, but not aas good as the Tandberg. If only more stations did not compress their signals into oblivion!
