Other than improve your antennae location/position, the Marantz 10B or the rare REL are the final frontier. A close second would be Modaferri modded tubed Macintosh.
I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???
I am wanting to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T tuner. It must have balanced outputs and doesn’t need to be a tube tuner. My current MD106T sounds nice but I’m wanting to upgrade. Any advice on a nice tuner to upgrade to would be appreciated. My 106T is nice sounding but I wonder what nicer is out there.

I prefer the sound of an old tubed tuner. If dx'ing were on the top of my list, the Mcintosh MR 78 would replace my MR 71. https://spectrum.ieee.org/consumer-electronics/gadgets/the-consumer-electronics-hall-of-fame-mcintos... Realistically, I probably tune between just 4 PBS stations. Sadly, the dial rarely goes beyond 100mhz. Going beyond is just a wasteland of awful sounding Pop, Classic Rock, Mexican and religious stations. |
Enjoy your tuner. If you REALLY want to experience FM tuner magic, you would need to listen this. https://pitchperfectaudio.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/setting-a-precedent/ You will be hard pressed to even find one. It was the benchmark for everything after it. Oh look.....there is a listing for one right now. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa5cb0-rel-646c-1-fm-tuner-rel-646c-1-fm-tuner-precedent-all-ori... It was originally listed for $3K, the seller bumped the price up! He knows it will eventually sell. |
