Looking for input on Signature upgrade on MD Tuners
Anyone out there pulled trigger on this upgrade worth 2k on their Magnum Dynalab tuners?
Looking for some feedback, please.

Banter.......I have been a Magnum Dynalab admirer for many years. I still lust for the MD108t. I have listened to the MD108 on a number of occasions and consider it one of th best FM tuners I have ever heard. Having said that, $2000 seems a bit steep for this particular upgrade to the output stage. I would have to think long and hard about the actual performance improvement over already top end tuners.

I just bought an md108t last fall and absolutely love it. I've got this upgrade on the list, but have spent enough on audio for a good long while. It's close to the top of the list though - I listen to fm more than anything and love the sound of the 108t. If I wasn't looking at a new car's worth of unhooked up amps in my floor, this would be happening in the next few months.

The folks at md say they're doing lots of these upgrades - of course, they would say that ...
