What are some of the better tuners out there?

What are some of the better tuners out there? I am enjoying my Magnum Dynalab MD106T. I find myself at the mercy of reception and clean ac but when all is right the sound is quite nice. I’ve found good results with Amperage tubes but I find tubes too inconvenient in that they burn out too quickly.

I just got my Magnum Dynalab md106t tuner back from repair and had the caps in the output section upgraded and I upgraded the tubes to Telefunken tubes and my tuner sounds good again. It should further improve with play time. My tuner is 12 years old but I will keep it.

Can anyone comment on what I think is an attached antenna on the Sansui TU-9900. I recently got a Magnum Dynalab 108T and love what I am hearing from my favorite station. I want to add a tuner to my living room system and was thinking of a vintage tuner or a lower cost Magnum Dynalab.

If the Sansui TU-9900 does have an attached antenna is it able to lock on moderate signals. It would make life easy if I do not need to attach an antenna in the living room area.

If it is a long round cylinder type, it’s an AM antenna.  I had. Sansui tuner way back when and it did both FM and AM and had what I described. I remember the tuning knob on the right was right up against the tuning dial and the glass panel went around the knob.  That was around 1979.

@stereo5 Thanks. Now I remember my Dads old receiver had an AM antenna similar to that. 

I noticed that you like Macintosh tuners. Is there a few units you can recommend?
