Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....

Things like the CT-7000 from Yamaha, other Marantz, Magnum, Fisher, Scott or any others.  It would be good for us "tuner people" to hear your experience with older, former SOTA tuners.  Thanks.

Like rpeluso, I use a Luxman T110.  In my audio life, I have owned two different Marantz 10Bs, as well, and I have lusted for a Sequerra.  But it doesn't make sense these days to spend so much on a tuner.

McIntosh MR-74 and Luxman T-110, both upgraded by Don Scott and both wonderful. Yamaha T-2 recently refurbished and also excellent. Also quite like the tuner section in my refurbished Tandberg TR-2075 MKll receiver.

tubegb    makes an excellent point.  I have a college classical station and a tech college mainly Jazz/some classical and all the other stations are mainly this country/rock/mainstream mix of "bar" music.  For all the pleasure that exist in good audio gear, many people have their car radio and the bar jukebox as their musical reference...not exactly the absolute sound.

I have a barely used Jolida tube tuner that really sings when I had it connected.  Put it up for sale but got got nothing but uhhhh radio silence (sorry).   Nice looking unit too maybe I’ll break it out again

I have a Sansui TU-X1.
I’m a jazz fanatic.
There’s only one jazz station in LA.
I've always considered my tuner as a tool to find new jazz music.
Consequently it doesn’t get much use due to bounty of jazz stations all over the world via streaming...along with Tidal & Pandora Premium.

As good as my tuner is, it’s turning out to be more of a nostalgic piece of audio sculpture.
It is a gorgeous beast, and I’ll never get rid of it.
