A Tuner In Your System?

Oh yes Dan, your MR74 is a beauty...and I've heard many good things about its performance. When I saw your MR74 in person I noted its spotless condition. I'd like to have one of these in my fleet, too.

Pete.......She's a beauty, and sounds very good. I like that the MR74 also tunes AM frequencies.

Yes, that it is an AM/FM tuner is also a plus...though my MX117 features AM.
However, I rarely use that system to play music or radio-mostly I use it with TV at night. It is a decent sounding system though...

I don't even know where I'd put an MR74 but who cares?

i have a Magnum Dynalab MD90 in my system, which recently replaced a Denon TU-800. The Denon is a very good tuner, even by today's standards (I've had it since 1989), and a former Stereophile Class B component, but the MD90 sounds better. I do give up AM, but so far haven't missed it, as I have other AM sources in the apartment.

I have four tuners sitting, unused, on a rack in a storage room, I have a 5th, a McIntosh MR78 that I had updated by Richard Modafferi, also sitting unused (but in a safer place - under the bed).

I don't guess I've hooked-up a tuner in 10 years. Should I consider doing so?

Why, of course you should!

I think I'm blessed - here in Minneapolis we have three stations that sound really good - the Minnesota Public Radio classical outlet KSJN, the MPR contemporary outlet, KCMP, and the Minneapolis School district's Jazz station KBEM. All sound excellent on my McIntosh MR-77. At our lake house 100 miles from the city, we have a MAC 4300V that sounds just as good. "A Prarie Home Companion" live broadcasts sound absolutely fantastic!

I guess it is because I live in such a small town.

I have an old McIntosh tuner in storage in my basement, I think it's an MR-64 but I may be remembering wrong. I bought it used in 1971 and used it until the Soundcraftsman. The Mc developed problems and McIntosh could not repair it. It came back from the factory looking like new though. It's so old the multiplexer is a sub chassis.
