Magnum Dynalab, MD102 FM Analog Tuner Excellence!

Ah yes, FM. Remember when it was the bastion of classical music, jazz, and album rock? While the cretins listened to their top 40 tracks in noisy mono AM, we had static-free music in stereo with very little commercial interruption.

Back then it was normal to have a tuner as part of your hi-fi system. Marantz, Dynaco and Pioneer all made great-sounding tuners that brought the best out of the programming available at the time. Then things changed. The FM airwaves were quickly gobbled up by giant entertainment conglomerates pushing a wide variety of formulated commercial formats. By raising the stakes, many mom-and-pop stations were bought out and their formats changed, leaving many cities without an alternative musical venue on the airwaves. To make matters worse, many stations started to process their sound to work best on a boom box or car stereo. This combination of events made the tuner more of a rarity in most American high-performance audio systems than commonplace.

So what first struck us about the Magnum Dynalab, MD 102? It’s dead quiet. Most every other tuner we’ve listened to imparts an amount of noticeable background noise to the music. Once the MD 102 is locked in, it’s as noiseless as CD. This can be almost spooky while listening to quiet passages of music. This silent nature makes the MD 102 a low-level reproduction champ. There have been more than few times when we walked into the room that I had to ask ourself if a tuner or a CD was playing.

If you’re looking for a tuner that is going to sugarcoat things, you might want to look elsewhere. The MD 102 recovers the signal and reproduces it accurately, warts and all. It will get you right up in there with the signal, god or bad.

This tuner has also undergone an upgraded tube package so its presentation is even better than when it came from the MD factory - a wonderful piece in as-new condition complete with original box/packaging and all the as-new goodies.
