I have only heard my MR 78 with the mod as I purchased it with it. I would not even have considered one without. My tuner sounds amazing. As good as vinyl or tape.
McIntosh MR78 upgrades?
I have an MR78 that's working well.
I can bring it to Audio Classics, and for about a grand, get the power supply and audio section upgraded, and the tuner will be aligned.
There's another shop, maybe 2 hrs from Audio Classics that does a power supply upgrade for $250, plus an alignment would be billed based on actual time on the bench. So let's say $350-$400.
Is the audio section upgrade worth $600? Would be most interested to hear from people with Mac tuners that have had them modernized.
