Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?


I've had an Accuphase T-100 for slightly less than ten years now and listen to it daily.  Every time I listen to it, I can't help but to think about how amazing it is.  The soundstage width, depth, instrument separation, and tone is so good.  It's much better than my CD player.  Is there anything else that's in the same league?  I have space on my rack and listen to so much FM radio that I thought it might be fun to get another tuner, possibly tube, to switch back and forth when the mood strikes.  I'm intrigued by some of the vintage tube tuners out there, but don't want to waste my time unless I know that it's at least equal in performance to the Accuphase.

So, if you have experience with the great Accuphase T-100 and something else that's just as good or better, please let me know what the other tuner is and how it compares.  I would love to hear about it!

FM radio is for me , not the best for hearing high-end music. If you say that the accuphase sounds, natural,in the depht,Instruments separared....maybe for you,it can be...but for me is this listening to music when you do anything at home... but for “pure,intensive listening”? Not my thing. Streaming is better, but not as good as a high-end cd-player:Luxman D-06,GamuT cd-3, Audio Note CDT one (with dac) Ear acute Classic ,audio research ref .cd9 cd/dac. The problem is:when you put a good recording cd in it: it sounds great, a bad recording :bad. FM-radio : almost always sounds good, but holographic?: no way. Very good tuners are: Burmester 978, Perreaux TU3,Philips 6731...and the Accuphase T100 is good stuff.
