vintage tuner: McIntosh or Sansui?


Looking for an attractive, good sounding tuner in the <$600 range. I was thinking of Sansui TU-517 or TU-717 ...
vs. ... a McIntosh like a MR73 or MR77.

Is there a significant difference in performance?

Thax,

Rob!! i have the Sansui TU-717 that i have not been using for several years. Purchased the full Sansui system with integrated amp and tape deck and tuner back in 77 but i am not using them. I would be willing to sell the tuner to you if you are interested. $500. I DO NOT have the original boxes or paperwork! I hope this doesn't go against Audiogon rules?????????? Don't know the current polices but i saw your post and am mentioning. That may be an issue with this post? I apologize to the audiogon gods if so : \ please post here though as have changed my email since this account has been set up and will need to get in contact with you. I am valid and not a scammer. Check my profile out. Cheers!

Either one,especially the Sansui TU9900,the TU-X1 is impossible to find and most Mac's like the MR74,75,77,78,80 etc. will all bring a smile.I have the TU9900 and the MR77 and always will till the next one comes around.Just kidding,YMMV,Bob
