I listened to the Cambridge and Creek mentioned above. The Cambridge in particular was very disappointing given all the hearsay of how "great" it is. Maybe I came upon a dud ... but ...
Believe it or not, my 30+ year old Kenwood (Don Scott mods) sounds better by a long shot (and cost less too).
No, I don't have a remote, presets, or a digital read-out.
But at least music does not sound flat, thin and compressed, which is what happens with a lower quality tuner.
Check out the geocities tuner info site, the opiniions there are quite accurate in my estimation of what is available in the market. The interest in vintage tuners comes from good reason. Unless you are looking at an Accuphase T109, or a Burmester, or an MD108 - they just don't make tuners today like they use to, because there is no money to be made. The low-end tuners are nothing more than "car radios".
Also, don't forget to factor in some money for a good antenna. More than anything, that makes the greatest difference in sound quality, because you can not only get a stronger signal, and most importantly lower multipath, by rotating it. Cable compresses the signal and introduces all kinds of distortions.
