Romy, all things being equal we all 'hear' differently.  I can not listen to a Pioneer tuner, others love them.  I've had so many tuners that
others have loved, but I just didn't like them...the list is too long to include, but trust me, if I outed them, they'd be upset cause then
they couldn't sell for what they paid!!  So the moral of the story is what's good to your ears may not be good for mine...although I've never
heard the Kenwood, I wouldn't pay the money for it, as I also haven't heard a Kenwood that I think 'sounds' good, IMHO.

I personally love the Sansui's, all the way down to the TU-517, and including the often dissed TU-719, which I think stock beats the pants
off of a TU-717, and I've never had a problem with the quartz-lock.

Also like the Rotel RHT-10 'michi', the best digital ever full of Black gates...the TU-9900 is a great DX'er, but even modded it can't approach
the TU-919, TU-719 or TU-X1.

My favorite sleeper is the Mitsubish DA-F20, kind of funky looking, but it can be a giant killer with a little work under the hood.

YMMV
