Without a doubt, the Watkins-Johnson 8888 series of receivers.
An elegant, easy to use receiver -- like Mercedes SL versus the 'Vette.
With the optional preselector and fully accessorized, outstanding performance.
When W-J spec's a bandwidth, they MEAN 10 KHz. All filters have VERY steep skirts.
The only drawback: the phone jack REQUIRES 600 ohm phones or your audio is distorted
