MR 80 Restored!
Charles - forgot about this thread. Thanks for reviving it.
The MR 80 sounds the best out of all of the McIntosh tuners I’ve owned and better than any of the handful of other tuners that have visited my systems over the years.
This MR 80 has been very solid and lives in our Wisconsin lake home 85 miles as the crow flies from Minneapolis. I have a roof mounted 6 element yagi. Works great.
I agree the super narrow is only useful for DX or situations where there is a strong adjacent channel station.
I have not yet done any upgrades or mods to the tuner so I have that to look forward to.
Tom
