Pioneer,Marantz,and Sansui,all went into making high end products in later years
Musta missed out on all the Pioneer and Sansui "high end" products. :)
Yes, Saul made some really nice tube stuff in prior years.

I recall listening to a killer Class A amp by pioneer. Sansui had some tuners that were SOTA. Marantz had a few separates in the 80's that I would consider high end. Even Sanyo tried to get into high end in the 80's. I think all of the major companies made high end gear, but a lot of it never made it out of Japan. I sold Kyocera in the 80's and they made fantastic stuff. I still have a PL-601 sprung turntable from them that is very nice. (I have to many turntables!) See link for the specs. In looking at the specs, I should get a cartridge on this thing. This think looks like it could give my LP-12 a run for its money!

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn. :)
Tuners?
Neither of those brands were committed to consistently building products that proved to be among the best sounding.
Kyocera wasn't previously mentioned.
