What are some of the better tuners out there?

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?

I have a Mac MR85 and an MR88 FM Tuners, they both are great but the much cheaper MR85 sounds a bit better. I owned a Magnum Dynalab Etude, MD 100, MD 102, later modded with the tube output and a MD106. Both my Mac tuners sound better than any of the the Magnums. The Sansui tuners from the mid 70’s through the 80’s and the Kenwood tuners from the same era are wonderful.

I sold audio from 1972 until 1986 and owned a lot of gear back then. The Kenwood KT8500 and KT9500 tuners give me very fond memories.   Forgot to mention that the McIntosh MR 78 is their best sounding tuner.  It is a tube tuner and they sell anywhere from 1600-2000.00.  Audio Classics has one or two of them listed.  They also have many other used Mac Tuners.
