There are no better tuners in a receivers than the Sherwood s-7900,8900.My crew immediately went over to Dyna(components) or Sherwood(receivers). Fisher,Scott,etc. seemed to be declining, Sony/Superscope got Marantz (you should have seen Japanese stuff then,Akai was respected but that was because they got Roberts and then only for reel to reel)Hell,I remember when everyone was drooling over Sequerra's,the Sherwood CPU-1 blew that away,minus $1000!
Now on EBay you can get a S7100a(BOTL) for ~$40-50 & guys now talk about their "warm tube-like sound". Sadly after the S-9910, Sherwood declined into the CP Series, and The Sony's,JVC's, Panasonic's(by now Technics) caught up and surpassed everybody. The last great non-Shotz tuner was probably in The Proton Radio & I don't mean the MoMA clock radio.
BTW, I still have my Sherwood S-7300 & AR-5's, and my college KLH suitcase.
