FM tuner fans, somebody get this!

I use a MX110z that works like a charm. I don't use it. Last time 3 years ago, wonderful, stereo FM reception, was easy to pick up with a Wall antenna in Sacramento, 60 miles away... No idea what it's modeled after in the Mac line up... Sure is a sweat heart of  a preamp and tuner though..
phono stage was really good to come to think about it...

I need to get back into that... FM use to be so nice on a Friday/Saturday night, few friends over..... I miss that.. Thanks OP, I'm gonna drag one of the 110s out... FM it for a bit...

Regards

I was weaned on 70's Rock radio. We all now that's long gone.

Since my tastes have matured, there's still great public radio Classical/Jazz. Radio is the original "streaming" 

FM is still great, it's just quite limited. Especially outside of Classical/Jazz.

Never heard a Mac MX110, but I understand it still has the great tube FM magic. I'm guessing it still has the tubed Mac FM sound.

LONG LIVE FM! 

I love my McIntosh mx110z, Tube Tuner/Preamp, awesome FM and Phono sound.

If I was robbed, I would get another without hesitation.

Most people have never heard truly great FM.

said there was NOTHING he could do to improve the FM in the mx110z.

"mx110 FM Tuner (and some Richard Moderaffi unofficial history).

When operating to spec, the mx110 tuner section is superb. McIntosh engineer (way back then) Richard Moderaffi (who originally designed the MR77 & MR78 tuners) (performs modifications on McIntosh tuners) said there is nothing he could do to improve upon the original design of the mx110 tuner section. It was (and still is) that good."
