Glad some else pointed out the MR 78 is solid state.Having just today sold an MR 78, I will tell you that probably the people at the tunerinfo website said it best, and I am paraphrasing "if you want a very good tuner, have the money to spend, want something that will keep and possibly appreciate in value during the time you own it, a 78 is a very good choice in a tuner". It is beautiful to look at, and very easy to use, especially for us older analog guys. Reception wise it will suck the clouds out of the sky, but I do think it could sound a little better. But at the same time, the resale value and the fact that it is a very good tuner are very good reasons to at least try one.
McIntosh transistor tuners....any good ones?
With McIntosh tuners..seems that people mainly speak of the 67,71 and 78 tube models.
Many people seem the think that other brands of transistor tuners have merit...Yamaha CT-7000, T-1, T-2..etc., and other models from Magnum, Fanfare, Sansui...and others.
So,...did McIntosh tuners that were solid state just blow it design-wise...or are they just underated/appreciated?
