In Reply to: As for all old tube tuners, I'll probably be doing "everything" ! posted by Bambi B on December 1, 2006 at 09:02:31:
To be honest I haven't used my MR67 in years because I found it difficult to find broadcasts that sounded good enough for me to want to sit down and listen to. Had I roof mounted my NOS Finco FM-4G antenna maybe it would have been different? Now that I'm out of the NY Metro area there's even less reason to listen to FM because the station choices in my area of SC are grim in my opinion. My FM experience now is with a Pioneer Receiver that serves only as background music when I'm puttering around the house. I stuck with the tube numbers marked on the MR67 chassis and never tried alternates. The MR67 is a good tuner but I thought my Citation lllX sounded better. My MR sounds too full for my taste, like too much bass overlay where the lllX has a brighter more open sound. Could be the different de-emphasis circuits in play but because FM broadcasts have gone downhill so much over what they were 30 years ago I gave up on trying to have FM sound I can really enjoy and all my efforts go to the enjoyment of LP's. I was never fully up on the interchangeability of 6U8, 6BL8, 6EA8 and 6GH8. I went thru that with a couple of Scott integrateds I have and I never reached a conclusion.
Seems that Scott was good at changing the tube numbers in different production runs of the same model. Maybe it was a price and availablity thing with them?
