I still listen to FM broadcast but today in my region of North America there are only 2 decent stations left, using a Sansui 9800 tuner recapped upgraded including dual power supplies done years ago. Outdoor antenna have owed the Sansui for over 25 years and still enjoy the high quality of FM broadcast.

I've had the MR78 tuner in my system for a while now,and listen to it a lot on the weekends. Classical music, a cup of coffee, and a newspaper go perfect together.

I have a McIntosh MR88 without XM hooked up as of yet. Love it, but do not get a chance to listen very often.

I love my Mcintiosh 78 while working from home. Im 70 miles from Los Angeles and it gets a lot if stations. I think it needs to be realigned, any suggestions on local repairs would be helpful.

My privileges (lack of) preclude me from starting a new thread, but I'm interested in information on the two new Magnum Dynalab tuners referenced in the linked article. Masterlu aka esteemed MD dealer: any words of wisdom?

First of all that is a heck of an "only system". As for the MR78 I have one now with Terry Dewick in Knoxville Tennessee that is being refurbished. I am in great anticipation of the day I can pick up from him. Suggest you purchase from McIntosh a MR78 shipping box to protect the unit and then ship to Terry for the best in refurb. Go to mcintoshaudio.com to find him and tell him I referred you.
