I had an MD 90 and traded in toward a MD 102 and love it, it pulls in stations that the 90 couldn't. Mine is solid state but it sounds great.....
Magnum Dynalab MD102T or MD801 tuner?
I currently own a Magnum Dynalab MD-101A with a few upgrades; better caps, upgraded wire and output jacks. I listen to it almost everyday through an AR SP16 preamp, Quicksilver Silver 60 tube amps driving a pair of Quad 22L speakers. I have a rooftop antenna and receive WRTI and WXPN and WPRB very cleanly. I am curious how a MD triode tube tuner would sound like. I have an opportunity to purchase a used MD-102T for about the same price as a new MD-801 Internet tuner. I don’t know if FM will still be supported in the US let’s say for the next 10 years. I don’t want to purchase a high quality FM analog only tuner if the format may go away. I do have an inexpensive Grace internet tuner that feeds an outboard DAC and it sounds pretty good, but not nearly as good as FM through the MD-101. What do you think? thanks.
