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 was weaned on 70's Rock radio. We all now that's long gone.

Since my tastes have matured, there's still great public radio Classical/Jazz. Radio is the original "streaming" 

FM is still great, it's just quite limited. Especially outside of Classical/Jazz.

Never heard a Mac MX110, but I understand it still has the great tube FM magic. I'm guessing it still has the tubed Mac FM sound.

LONG LIVE FM! 
I would love to get the Modafferi MR71 upgrade, but it’s $1K+! It’s the Marantz 10B killer. Equivalent to a turbo/blower for the big block Chevy.

Last night, the local PBS Classical played "Halloween-scary"themed pieces, and the sound track for the infamous Hitchcock" Psycho" was played.

It’s close enough to CD quality-amazing! You could see the scene play out in you head.
I love the Fisher!

Before I got the Mac, I looked high and low for  well cared for unit. The choice was a grenaded mess or just step above that and working. Also looked for a Sherwood.

Naturally no regrets for the Mac, but I dig the looks of both Fisher and Sherwood.

That REL would look great in my rack, but $4.5 will not get approved by the boss. It reminds me of a classic Buick or Cadillac.
"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! "

The REL Precedent is for those of us who want  Art Deco and tubed FM magic. I suppose anyone really interested  doesn't need to see  pics and would discuss that with the owner.

Has anyone been lucky to experience the GREEN MOSTER?

Anyone who has one of these in the system pics WINS!
The REL is what set the standard for the Marantz 10B and everyone else.
