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?

OP.

rar1 mentioned an Outlaw.

They don't show it, but it has remote control

I just got a great deal on the Magnum Dynalab MD208!

Thanks to everyone for your input. It was a hard choice between it and the Fisher 800 but it's easier to avoid any restoration hassles, I guess.

I had the Marantz 2252B and 1060, they both sound great. Not easy to pair with speakers, but when they do, they are very detailed and musical
