Top Ten Tuners of all Time??

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.

Rhode + Schwarz, handmade ugly looking bitches from Germany.
All handbuild to the highest possible degree.
Price new in the 70 at about 17.000USD. That says it all.
They did a version with tubes as well. It is so good that even my spectral CD Combination seams a joke against that staff.
Here in Germay you get it rearly and mostly in poor Conditions starting from 1.500 to 4000 USD depending on the state .
The second best i have heard is the Kenwood L-01T, or 03T
Very good very rare.

It depends on the RF situation, For DXing the Yamaha T-85 or
T-80 as well as the Onkyo 9090 series 2 are up to the task.
For audio quality when a clean, un-compressed signal is available (A good rooftop is required as well). The Mac 77
0r 78, as well as the sansui TU-9900 come to mind.

Not only is a decent FM rooftop antenna required, But should
be viewed as the other half of the equasion whenever one
discusses Top Ten Tuners. O-rod

Some mentioned the German "Ballempfaenger," for instance made by Rhode and Schwarz in the 70s. I wonder what the modern equivalent is? FM radio is still alive, and relay receivers might still be needed. Considering the high audio quality of German FM broadcasting, what is used now and what could, in principle, be purchased for home usage?
