Magnum Dynalab Tuner

Hi,
I'm cogitating over whether I should or shouldn't have my MD 90 upgraded to an MD90t. Am I wasting my time with this upgrade, should I aim for something greater, say the MD90 to the MD 100 triode or MD 105 triode?

Thanks Polk432, Magnum Dynalab will upgrade my gold faced MD90 to an MD90t for $800.00 but I'm still wondering if I should shell out a little more cash for a higher upgrade.

Goofyfoot, if you get good reception in your area you probably won't need anything better if you use the ST2 antenna. Maybe get the remote with presets they offer. 800.00 seems to be more than trading up or selling, but whatever's easier. Best of luck.

Well, that decision is really a personal one, Radio = Free Music, you can detect a
lot of unknown Artists / Performances, I had a few good Transistor Tuners in
former years, the last one was a Dynalab Etude (very good), then I made my
decision to go for a MD108 when it was presented. Never looked back.

We have a good but not great 24 hour classical radio station in town and I listen to it fairly often. The best times to listen is when live radio is simulcast from the BBC Proms, Symphony Cast, etc... I have 2 projects on the table, first being a Thorens upgrade modification and the second being a way to improve my radio. Paying $800.00 to upgrade my radio is practical to me but MD suggests better results from higher upgrades. I will kick myself thinking that I should have gone from the MD90 to an MD 100t but like everyone has mentioned, the choice is personal. I have the amplifier and speakers to do any source component justice so my gut tells me to save enough for at least an MD100t upgrade
