I listen with a Sony XDR F1HD and it sounds wonderful. I am impressed that such a small (and fairly inexpensive) unit is so sensitive and quiet, with wonderful imaging. I have heard the mods exist for this tuner; to my ears, it works well stock.

I have one of these and it's just wonderful. The imaging is impressive. Quiet, sensitive, selective.
I just disconnected my Audiolab 8000 T tuner and replaced it with my Pioneer Elite F 91 tuner.
I have always heard about the Audiolab 8000T and how good it was.
I check ebay for prices every once in a while and I notice that the Audiolab 8000T goes for about $400 and change.That price seems very reasonable and my thought is that many people just don't have the selection of FM stations available to make it worth while owning a good tuner.
I tried buying some second-system tuners and I got rid of them all. None of them compared.
The main characteristic of the 8000T is the frequency extension combined with the holographic soundstage, but mostly the latter.

They are both great tuners, but I would have to give the edge to the Audiolab in terms of soundstaging. I also like the silky smooth tuning knob.Reminds me of some of my old Marantz equipment. But I think my Pioneer pulls in weaker stations better.
