Top Ten Tuners of all Time??

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.

From my experience practically anything that Don Scott modifies has the potential of being one of the top ten tuners. He has done two for me: the MDFT101A and the KENWOOD L-07T. In each of them he flushed out an unbeleiveable level of performance. He gave each their own unique character and presence in my system. I am an avid FM listener. It would be very hared to believe that a KT L-07T modified by Scott is not easily among the top five tuners.

Don told me that TU-9900 is one of the best !
My personal experience points that it is better than the highly regarded TU-919.

I must say, that the KT 9900 is the best tuner I have ever heard. I had a couple of highly regarded ones, but this one
stands out above all of them. I couldn't afford to keep it, and it was in such new like condition. I have a Luxman T 14 that Don Scott recommended, that is very vice sounding, that
I will have modded soon.
