Default Tuners

As a long-term 'tunerphile' (about 2/3's of my listening is to broadcast FM - am fortunate to be within listening distance to a couple of excellent stations), I have three refurbished TOTL tuners from the early '80's. All have been recapped and aligned by a 'known good' tuner tech (they are far and few between). The Sony ST-J75 is the quietest (a very black background), the Yamaha T-85 is the DX machine and the Accuphase T-106 provides the best SQ to my ears. Just put a fresh set of meter bulbs in the T-106 and rotated it back into the system and have to say, it provides superb sound. Was thinking I would sell any two of the three if someone is looking for a great tuner at a reasonable price. But, that would be a mistake on my part. I'll be keeping the T-106 unless I happen across a reasonably priced T-107 in black (about half the height of the T-106 and I'm trying to downsize) or an affordable T-1100. Accuphase has done an amazing job with their DSP based tuners (of which the T-106 was the 2nd generation). Can't imagine spending money on anything else (I've probably owned 50 tuners over the past 40yr).
