I've replaced the Kenwood L1000T with the Rotel RHT10 Michi.
Unfortunately the music program available from FM stations in my country, guides me to sell this tuner in the immediate future and buy some internet tuner. I'm quite suprised by other's knowlege and dedication to the FM subject. I have friends that advocate their tuner as the better source even in contest to their TT. I've never experienced that, so, I'm reluctand to invest on FM again, especially given the persistent bad taste at broadcast music in Greece.

Sansui 771 receiver/tuner

Sansui Tu-X1 ...this beast is everything that you've heard about it and more. Sadly, there is only one FM jazz station in LA, and I don't always agree with their programming. I listen to Pandora more than my tuner.

have not had many tuners. I had an Onkyo 9090II(super sensitive, OK sound); Dynaco FM3 (old fashioned sounding), and a Magnum Dynalab MD100 (purchased in 2001) which I upgraded to an MD105 (2012). I also has a Mac MR67 in my home for a few days but it was clearly not working correctly, so I returned it. I also once had a Scott tubed tuner in my home that was DOA. That also went back. Way back I had an Adcom GTP 500II tuner/preamp which was pretty nice. I am now using my MD105, and every so often I get the bug to drive to Audio Classic a few hours drive) and come home with a restored/modded Mac tuner. Maybe one day. The one that got away was a 10b, or more precisely, 2 10b's. I was once way upstate New York and a guy had a store; we got to talking and it came up I was into audio gear and music. He brought me to his stock room where he had two Marantz 10b tuners sitting on a shelf. He wanted $1200. Just the asking price indicated he knew he had something. Had my wife not been with me at that moment, I wonder whether I would have tried to make a deal for at least one of them. Oh well-
