Bryston?

I emailed James Tanner from Bryston last month about getting a 3rd MD ST-2 antenna. He immediately forwarded my request to maybe the old VP of MD. I heard a few comments about getting on my request and then silence.

Then a tech support contacted by from another channel (web site support) and tells me a new version is coming out by the end of January and the prior guy had no knowledge. Not sure if they are working in the same office since there is some disconnect in the feedback. I am only referring to MD NOT Bryston.

The MD Tuners are excellent. I have the MD 108T. However, 2 vintage tuners I own are amazing too. A Sansui TU990 (very good) and a turbo charged Accuphase T-101 (great). The Sansui is not used since I need a 3rd antenna. Both vintage tuners cost a lot less than the MD-108T. I doubt I get the MD 108T if I had owned the vintage tuners first.

With the 25% tariff on Canadian goods due to hit tomorrow, some of us looking at MD may be confined to the used market. Wish I too had a vintage tuner -- that still worked or could be repaired!

Time is on your side. It was just a political proposal and hasn't yet been enacted. Because Canada is such a huge US trading partner it's possible that it the tariff will never be enacted.

Many of the first class vintage tuners are completely serviceable. My McIntosh MR80 is still going strong after all these years, although it benefits from a little attention every 10 years or so. The challenge is finding a tech qualified and equipped to align these tuners. It's a specialty, rather like servicing reel-to-reels.

 No kidding. Got an 85lb powered sub, no one local can install new amp board. Friend inherited a nice TEAC R2R that needed attention -- no luck. In my childhood we had three independent radio repair shops. Long gone. Radio Shack had the last gearhead, young kid; they closed 10 years ago. Canada was a bastion of FM connoisseurship for obvious reasons. Now it may be Eastern Europe.
