I've had a half dozen MR74s over the years. During that time, the MR71 was my main tuner. Looking back I don't think I ever gave an MR74 much listening time ... I was buying, restoring, reselling.

Yes, the MR75 has an Alps front end. However, it's really quite a nice sounding tuner. It's just not particularly good at the tuning aspects ...
