"I heard the "77" would be more musical sounding than the "78" model (without mods). Did someone on the forum comared them ?
"
Back when these were current models I was a salesman and sold both. The MR78 was hands down the better tuner overall, but if a person did not live in an area with a lot of multipath, the MR77 worked as well, sounded as good, but not better. The current modded MR78, however, is just better in every way. I hate to say best, but in my experience it easily is a match for a properly working Sequerra.
