Best reasonably priced classic hi-end tuner


Hi fellow Audiogoners - I am looking for a classic FM tuner that won't break the bank. I understand the early McIntosh tuners such as the MR 67, 71 and 78 are highly regarded but there are conflicting opinions as to which sounds best. I would love a Marantz 1O B, but i don't have $3,000 to spend. I welcome your timely thoughts on the Mac's and am open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks in advance.

I love my vintage Sansui TU 919 with it's big beautiful soundstage full of nuance and tonal colors around $700 used
Its not a vintage classic tuner, but maybe a modern classic, the Sony XDR-F1HD. Mine cost $85 new, on Amazon. No longer in production, but neither are the vintage classics. I think it was called the best tuner ever by one reviewer. It solved all my reception problems.
Cheers
Fanfare had a good Tuner, the ETUDE from Magnum Dynalab was one of those with excellent reception AND good sound (this combination is normally impossible to find with Tuners)
I have a Fanfare FT-1 that I`ve own for 16 years and it`s very,very good in sound and reception.
I`d think the Magnum Dynalab is every bit as good.
Regards,
