Description
For sale is a McIntosh MR78 FM tuner-widely regarded as one of the greatest analog tuners ever built, and a true icon of high-fidelity radio. Designed by audio legend Richard Modafferi, the MR78 was McIntosh's first digital-synthesized tuner and remains a benchmark for FM sensitivity, selectivity, and sound quality. With its ultra-low distortion circuitry, narrow IF bandwidth, and multipath-rejection capabilities, it pulls in distant stations with astonishing clarity-even in crowded urban environments. The classic McIntosh styling is all here: glass faceplate, black and silver elegance, and glowing green lettering that still turns heads. Sold as is with no warrenty of any kind.
