Thanks, cleeds. You obviously know the subject quite well. Nowadays and for about the last 8 to 10 years, most new cars come with the capacity to receive SiriusXM. In my case, I tried SiriusXM in my car, on a lark, and now I am really hooked on it, to the extent that I don’t even try to tune in AM or FM stations, except for one sports station in my area on AM and one PBS station in my area on FM. So I would expect that SiriusXM might be a threat to FM , especially as and where the primary use for FM is to broadcast music with some fidelity. Music and PBS/NPR.
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.
