1st is Sansui TU X1, best room, best Dynamik, "just there Sound"
2nd is (of those I own) Sansui Tu 517 (modified with Accu-Voltage and different internal wires), Onkyo T 9900 , Kenwood KT 1100 (great reception, great selektivity), Technics ST 9600 (just beautiful..), Technics ST 7300K (good Dynamik and bass)

Denon TU-680NAB is hands-down, undoubtedly the best tuner I have ever seen, especially if you factor AM reception into the equation.

I am surprised that someone else has an appreciation for the Sherwood 300. I have the mono and stereo versions. I might add that I also have the Sansui TU 717 and a digital Nikko. For the guy who doesn't believe people listen to so many "radios". I have couple of those as well.
It is true that Tunas may not be the last word in terms of high end sonics, although mine are not configured optimally (no outdoor antennae). I hear more interesting new music this way than by any other avenue. Which I then get on CDs or LPs. You know for your DVD and record players.
