I have a Philips 6731, the balck version of the 673 but not the ST5130. I do have several Sony receivers, the STR6060FW, STR 6120, STR6065 and STR 6045 plus a Sony ST-1055 tuner. The sound of each of the tuners of these is not all dissimilar to a McIntosh MR77 but less refined and detailed when run through a Sherwoods S5000II and later a Sherwood S9500c. The Philips has more air and a better quieting slope and comes even closer in balance and detail to the McIntosh. The Philips is nothing to sneeze at as a tuner. As an aside, it has one h*ll of an AM and as I have the 77 the 6731 does stay with me just b/c of the AM. The 77 is FM only. First AM tuner worth being in my system in some 40 years.
