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!

I agree a modded MR78 is about as good as it gets, especially with proper high end antenna. Was lucky enough to side by side the 71, 77, and 78. All modded and the 71 had 3k in vintage tubes. Preferred the 78 for classical FM best but the 71 was better on rock. Found myself using the Wadia 27/270 for a paper weight, toggling tuners all night.

I own in my order of preference:
Rhode & Schwartz
Magnum Dynalab MD109
REL Precedent (stereo Charlie King conversion)
Marantz 10B
The R&S is by a margin the best.

There is no definitive "best" of anything. There are way too many variables involved. The "best" you can hope for is to find something that works well in your system. You can then say it's the "best" for you until you find something you think is better !!!!

Linn Kremlin is an excellent tuner.
What I like is the clean sound even for the piano. Most of other tuners do not good job for the dynamic music and produce some distortion.
