McIntosh transistor tuners....any good ones?

Jakeman, what model Yamaha?

I have an MR-74 and it sounds real good, used. They're all gorgeous, of course, and just take that dial knob for a spin, literally. You know when you get there.

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.

Thanks for the input. I had seen a model 78 on ebay some
time back, and the ad referred to it as a tube unit...thanks
for correction.

78 is the bomb,great sound and seperation,owned one and miss it today,the 80 is the same beats except the digital readout and presets.Most of the rest are fairly good I would go for a 77 or if you want AM too a 75.Only beacuse the 78 and 80 tuners are fetching big bucks like all the other 70s MAC gear.Cheers.
