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

Sequerra was pretty good back then, but they broke a lot.  Also, big in the day was the Onkyo T-9090; it was great.  Still going for big money these days.  I have an older Onkyo T-4055, the T-9090 precursor, and it still plays pretty well!

Cheers!

I shopped for vintage high-end tuners about 10 years ago and found out that several of the earlier Kenwoods were excellent, topped by the 600t or 650t. Also the Accuphase T100 and T101 (which is the only one I still have). Also the earlier Sansuis. Anything modified by Modafferi or Antenna Performance is a very good bet.  Enjoy!

Like some others, I have, and still occasionally use a LUXMAN ( TX 101 ).  It does require a decent antenna and this can sometimes be hard to set-up in an indoor environment.  The problem is, as others have pointed out, there is almost no quality transmission of music. Everything is compressed and boomed up and distorted.  The local public station doesn't use compression, but you have no selection choice.  I have a old $50.00 radio from somebody that often sounds better because it does not pick out all the trash that is broadcast -- and it's mono-pole antenna is built in.

I have a Kenwood 600T and even though it needs aligning I really like it.

I use a Denon TU-800 from the 80's.  I had it worked on a few years back and it sounds great to me.  It's always tuned to the local classical station.  I'd like to upgrade my antenna--maybe something outdoors...?
