Best Receiver?

I’m setting up a second system with a set of stand mount speakers and a nice Garrard 301 and want a tuner built in, rather than an integrated amp. Of all the receivers, vintage and more recent, what’s the best sounding? I always thought those massive Marantz etc looked great but didn’t sound particularly good. Anyone have experience with something that sounded great?

Naim NAT01 I know it's only a tuner but probably one of the best ever made.

It's interesting that you ask this question, because I am questioning why I have a receiver with all of the streaming options available today. If you really like a particular radio station, you can stream it, too. 

I have a vintage rig with a Fisher "the 600". I love the way the tubes glow! All 22 of them! There's no quarts lock, so I can tune in stations from way outside my listening area. Albeit, not clearly... Anyway, good luck with your search! Have fun!
