McIntosh MR78 upgrades?

I picked up my MR71 for peanuts in the early nineties and cosmetically it happened to be excellent. The electronics were not good. I had the Modaferri mod done with the alignment, and it sounded great after that. Later, I sent it to Sam Kim in Montreal, and he worked his magic on it. After that, I no longer craved for the coveted Marantz 10b.

A few more thoughts about this. Does the tuner equal my vinyl front end? No way. And, I do have concerns that FM may be on its way out. Plus, I moved into a new home, and now need to do the roof antenna reinstallation. Right now, my tuner sits on my rack looking pretty, while I'm trying to figure out how to fund other needed system improvements.

Still, I'm driven to get this all done, because that's what it's about for me. So, yes, the expense was worth the results.

I disfavor mods in general, but the Modafferi MR78 one is different. Richard was heavily involved in the design of the RF sections of the tuner, and his mod of the 78 is more like an update, he putting everything he has learned about tuners in the intervening years into your 78. He also installs new, better RCA jacks, adjusts and aligns everything, and includes performance test results of your particular tuner.

Kenny - FM definitely on the way out  I have a roof antenna and a signal sleuth and I only get 2 stations (I am 60 miles east of NYC so college stations for me). But, they do sound marvelous.  

Cerrot - I read a rumor, and I think it was here on Audiogon, that one of the Scandinavian countries has eliminated FM altogether?

I do get the public radio stations, which is what I listen to. So, jazz, classical, and alternative. I really don't care for the rest. Even, my daughters stopped listening to "their" music stations, as the music has become shallow in mind and body in their opinions. I'm digressing.

Many of the antenna manufacturers are no more, or they just manufacture what's popular today. I own an SE Engineering antenna (no more), but I'm in the hunt for an old classic Channel Master or equivalent.

l wonder, if by the time I get my act together with roof/rotor/antenna, will there be a signal!!!? - LOL
