Accuphase McIntosh Denon are three of my favorite tuner makes that I have owned and listened to for long periods. The Denons I have in mind are digital (equal to 4 and 5 gang)and the others are analog. Ive had many in between ones, spoken highly of or not. Another one I really like is a Nikko. Dynaco made some nice beautiful sounding tuners so did Sansui and Pioneer (sx models). The shootouts started to become meaningless to me some dont even get mentioned in the top 50 and they are synonymous with doing everything a ’top tuner" should do well and maybe even more.
I had a Macintosh MR80 in my system for thirty years and truly enjoyed it, a wonderful turner. However, almost a year ago I replaced it ( I still own it ) with a Magnum Dynalab MD109 SE. It is simply spectacular. Much more musical.
