Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....

An old SS TEAC remains my primary audio source among the many. Local NPR station programming and engineering are good enough to hold my interest without resort to LP, CD, stream, cassette (!) etc. Got the current model NAD in reserve for when the TEAC dies (all prior tuners have died in <15 years). Nothing fancy in the stable and not shopping used market for ancient exotics. A/B between analog tuner & live stream of same station is a satisfying exercise.

I used to have a Kenwood KT-815, and then later a Denon (forgot the model).  I sold them both due to the death of FM in my area (Hudson Valley, NY).  Ever since WRVR switched from jazz to country in the late 70's I've bemoaned the status of FM.  Now I just use internet radio on my streamer.

I use a marantz model 20b. It’s the best ever made. Just sayin 

Sansui, Yamaha, Technics, Onkyo, Hafler and JVC are some that I’ve used over the years. I got off the tuner merry go round after buying a modified sony xdr-f1hd by the xdr guy. If one still listens to am and fm, the xdr is tough to beat. The unit is sensitive, selective, small in stature, sounds great and has a remote control. It’s the only piece of gear in my systems that I’ve never contemplated replacing. It’s used with a Magnum Dynalab whip antenna outside about 25 ft up. Very nice.
