I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???

I prefer the sound of an old tubed tuner. If dx'ing were on the top of my list, the Mcintosh MR 78 would replace my MR 71.

Realistically, I probably tune between just 4 PBS stations. Sadly, the dial rarely goes beyond 100mhz. Going beyond is just a wasteland of awful sounding Pop, Classic Rock, Mexican and religious stations.

Hello again,

I never heard of Amperage tubes.  Aren't they Amperex?

Cheers,
Randy

Probably Amperex. Are they good? They sound better than what I used to get from Magnum Dynalab. Two of them were $100 shipped. I’m enjoying my tuner again. I’ve found that these tubes got better with some play time. Maybe it’s my imagination but my tuner sounds good again.

I I have a Macintosh never use it 
I can’t stand commercials. Get a decent iPod. A good steaming radio of your choice. Way better and no commercials or talk. Gt

Commercials and talk are part of the Dxing experience for me. I am enjoying my tuner again. It is actually quite nice.
