Congrats! I owned one for several years many years ago. I wish I could have liked it. I tried very hard. I found the Narrow mode the only audiophile quality mode and through it, the sound was excellent. Super Narrow severely compromised sound quality. However, wandering presets and only 4 with no decent remote or tuning dial limited my enjoyment. The MR 7083 had a similar sound quality and was much user friendlier. The MR 87 represents a genuine advance in Mac tuners IMO. Recently there has been a lot of discussion about the MR 88 and HD but HD is MP3 quality sound. A good FM analog signal is by far better than MP3.
Again, congrats on the beautiful piece. I am sure your experience with your MR 80 is superior to mine. But the sound quality and its beauty were its redeeming qualities.
