FM tuner fans, somebody get this!


If I had a itch to give up my trusty Mac MR 71, I'd be all over this.
You would need to find a stereo multiplex unit, since it's mono. Or for ultimate mono cool, hook it up to a vintage mono amp and a horn speaker. Forget the Marantz 10B, this is it.

Art Deco cool, and yes all the hype about the sound is true.
Worth just having one in the rack, even if you don't have reception in your area.

I have 2 McIntosh FM Tuners, one in each system. I have a McIntosh MR85 tuner in my office system, sounds wonderful and I got from AC for $825.00. It was a $2500.00 tuner back in the day. Still looks brand new. It gets about 5 hours of listening every day as I mostly listen to FM while in my office.

I also have a McIntosh MR88 tuner which was their top tuner until a few years ago. This tuner also has XM HD radio which I don’t use. The FM sounds so right and both of the Mac tuners sound much better than my previous Magnum Dynalab FT101A, MD100 and MD102. There is no comparison to the sound of the Macs.

Regarding the tuner in the post, I am not aware of that brand and would have loved to at least see a picture of it!
