I think the Tandberg 3001/3001A are probably among the best (analog) tuners ever built, with stereo S/N ratio of 92db and capture ratio of 0.4. The Revox B760 is an excellent tuner as well, though it does not quite have the same level of performance as the Tandberg. While the latter has digital tuning, it is still an analog tuner since the signal is analog. I have both tuners and intend to keep them. Magnum Dynalab makes excellent tuners as well. However, we are finally at the dawn of digital FM broadcast and we are dealing with S/N ratio of 100 db and frequency response of 20-20kHz from these digital signals. Who needs to spend a few thousand dollars on analog tuners? To be sure, there can still be the argument that analog sound is warmer. The same debate like the proverbial CD vs vinyl or transistors vs. tubes. I am sold on the digtial FM broadcast. The perfectly clear, distortion free signals are something no analog tuners can ever deliver, not even the legendary Sequerra tuner.
