What do you use for an antanae?
|
bdowell.......I use external mounted antennas. I have a separate Fanfare FM-2 for my McIntosh MR85 tuner, plus a Magnum Dynalab ST-2 for my McIntosh MR88 tuner.

McIntosh have a history of beautiful tuners...
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/w...F9204-Copy.jpg Pete...your MR78 is a beauty....one of the last truly analogue tuners. Everything today out there appears to have ADC DSP filtering. Initially, I was interested in the MR88 but it is largely incompatible in Australia & McIntosh have no plans for regionalising it with DAB+ on the digital side. Needless to say that the quality of DAB+ implemented by commercial radio so far has been underwhelming. I think I would be happy with a MR78, the last of the great Richard Modafferi SS designs. My challenge is to find a mint MR71 that has been service & modded by the man himself. But....the famous Marantz 10B has also grabbed my attention. Anyone here with a 10b & are there any traps to owning one eg. Alignment issues? |

Steve....I'm honored that you chose my photo. I too have a penchant for the Marantz 10B (and a variety of other vintage Marantz gear).
There are currently four Marantz 10B's listed on eBay, including one listed as part of a system. The prices are all over the place. There is also a Sequerra Model 1 FM tuner listed, current bid is at $2,254 with 1 day and 8 hours left. Classic stuff...I like the MR71 as well and wouldn't mind having one at all. Pete |
Pete...I saw the Sequerra. Makes me want a 10B more. I just love the scopes in some of these vintage classics!
Yep, that vintage Marantz system looks pretty special & the seller is commanding it. If you can justify having many great tuners, I think then I could justify having at least 2. :D |

I have a new tuner that I bought about a month ago. It is a Tandberg 3011A FM tuner. It is lovely and sounds very rich and full. It mates perfectly with my Tandberg 3008A preamplifier and 3026A power amplifier. These three Tandberg components make a sweet sounding system. I am waiting on new Wireworld speaker cables to put the Tandberg system in service. I'll post a photo of the new Tandberg 3011A tuner soon. |
Dan....there you go, getting me lusting for your MR74 again! :drool:

Here's my most recent tuner purchase, a Tandberg 3011A.
