I own one of the MR 7xxx series. It is easy to use, has a number of convenient presets as well as several other tuning methods, gets AM, and sounds great. On live FM broadcasts, it recreates depth and ambience. It's real strength is in those stations which broadcast MUZaK(tm) in their carriers - no birdy. Many of the tube tuners you mentioned and others are weak there, plus they are fussy to maintain, IMHO. I also own other tuners such as the ones you mentioned.
McIntosh transistor tuners....any good ones?
With McIntosh tuners..seems that people mainly speak of the 67,71 and 78 tube models.
Many people seem the think that other brands of transistor tuners have merit...Yamaha CT-7000, T-1, T-2..etc., and other models from Magnum, Fanfare, Sansui...and others.
So,...did McIntosh tuners that were solid state just blow it design-wise...or are they just underated/appreciated?
