McIntosh MX 130 as a 2 channe preamp tuner

I am thinking of building up a second system for my office and I have looked around at used equipment. The MX 130 looks like a pretty good value as just a stereo tuner/preamp. Stereophile B with a 7083 tuner to boot. Any thoughts or opinions on this?

Thanks

price wise, i went with the mx132 with the tuner module. i bought it from audio classics. i was looking for a pre-amp tuner that would match my mc602. most of these were the older models. so i settled for the home theater unit.

What is the MX130 that doesn't have the tuner?

This is truly a sleeper product as a stereo preamp! Although the av capabilities are obsolete, it has numerous inputs, a 7083 fm tuner, smooth quiet controls…a great sounding rock solid two channel preamp! What a bargain!
