@tlong1958 I bought it used about 8 years ago. I’ve owned many vintage tuners including Accuphase, Sansui, Luxman, Kenwood, etc., etc. I paid about $600 for it. Save yourself some cash and buy a used one. There is a dealer selling a silver one here for $600. You should make an offer on it. Those vintage tuners are a headache if you have a problem. Magnum Dynalab is still in business. Here is the owners manual! http://www.magnumdynalab.com/pdfs/manuals/manual-MD90.pdf |
Vintage equipment CAN be a problem, but McIntosh tuners certainly aren't. Audio Classics are experts at repairing, restoring, and modifying them all. The designer of the MR74, 77, and 78 offers updates to those tuners (through Audio Classics), incorporating all he has learned in the years since he designed them. While the Magnum Dynalabs have good audio sound, their RF performance is only average, not anywhere near as good as the Macs. Look for Don Scott's evaluations of both lines (a Google search will lead you to them) for more info on them, and all other tuners. |
