An audiophile friend suggested McIntosh MR 71 and Marantz 10B for distinct tube sound. I checked Audiogon forum and found Tuner discussion to be crazy about Magnum Dynalab Etude/101A or Fanfare FT1A, perhaps for other reasons besides tube sound. I have not a/b the last two with McIntosh or Marantz, so if anyone has, let me know, thanks!
tube tuner and sources
I bought Rogue 99 and 88 was thoroughly enjoying tube sound. I have non-tube CD player and does not know what I have missed out (will tube CD player sound different?). Can someone enlighten me tube/nontube sources in relation to tube pre and power amp? I want to get an excellent FM analog tuner, so want advice on (1) if tube FM tuner is the way to go? (2) excellent tube tuners below 3k? (I am thinking of getting a non-tube tuner Fanfare FT1A at this point). thanks!
