Buy an old McIntosh. I have had a several Dynacos including Frank Van Alstine's best effort and a Magnum Dynalab 101a plus their Antenna tuner and a good old Mac is the better deal. Just make certain that it is Stereo. Caveat: Old Macs are not the most sensitive or selective, for that you need an MR 78 (or later), but for excellent sound at a reasonable price try a MX 110. I have an MR 71 but they are $600-800 in good condition. Why by a Mac? 1. they sound better (much) 2. they never depreciate they only appreciate 3. Their build quality is beyond belief. Good luck
Tuner Advice. Help a lost soul.
There seems to be a lack of good information on the web and elsewhere when it comes to tuners. Which is too bad because I'm looking to get a good tuner for my system, and I'm lost. I listen to a lot of radio and I would like a tuner that sounds good...no that sounds GREAT!! Unfortunatly I don't have $5000 for a Magnum Dynalab MD 108 or even $1500 for a Fanfare FT-1. I'm looking in the $200-500 range I guess. I've considered the NAD C440 and a used Magnum FT-11. Other than these two and the Onkyo line (which is confusing) I'm lost. Can anyone recommend a few quality tuners and/or a good place to purchase them. Any help, advice, recommendations, etc. would be great.
