Can I use my McIntosh MX 113 as a Tuner only

Onemug,

Do you know if you can use the tape output of a Marantz Model 18 receiver the same way for FM out? I still have the Model 18 I bought while a post-doc in the mid-sixites.

Thanks for the information, Onemug. I'll take the tape output from my Model 18 to the tuner input of my Proceed PAV, and move the turntable input to the PAV from tuner to AUX, unless you have a better recommendation. Presumably because they did not include a phono stage, Proceed did not provide a phono input. I use the PAV/PDSD for audio only, with a separate HDMI switcher between my PS3-80 and Direct TV HD DVR for video.

In looking at my Marantz Model 18, it occurred to me that in addition to using its tape monitor output to deliver FM to my Proceed PAV, as Onemug suggests, I should be able to use that same tape output for the phono stage of the Model 18. The Model 18's phono stage may or may not be better than the Channel Island Audio phono stage and power supply I bought on Audiogon to use with my vintage turntable toy, a toy that sounds much better than I imagined it would.
