Hi mrh,

Very interesting that today ANYONE would introduce a new FM tuner. Why Mac - why not?

Anyone who has ever invested any $$ in the FM tuner world has heard (of) their products. Mac wants to (and can) show the world that they still have muscles to flex in that arena.

Will be interesting to see how many they sell - but they probably don't care, there won't be a followup. I also REALLY DO appreciate the homage that they are paying to their heritage

AND the meters - OF COURSE; many Audiophiles listen with their EYES!!!

  Thanks, Charles (in all seriousness).
  I do wonder if the new Mac tuner really has Mac guts in it, though...

  $5K used to sound like silly money for anything some few years back but not anymore. Hardly anybody wants to bend their finger for less nowadays. I keep buying tuners even though there is only one station to listen to locally and I still need a long (have only 4 elements) Yagi to get some Canadian broadcasts which are closer to what I was used to listen to in my youth. My daily tuna is an Accuphase T101. Mac's 67 and 71 I had proven to be rather too feeble and temperamental. I will always have radio in my home. Didn't grew up in TV civilization.
  I can still remember, rage and furor at my parents who spent my first communion money (in catholic tradition, its custom to gift kids with money and presents) to buy big transistor radio from Russian troops stationing nearby and didn't ask my opinion. Now, I think it wasn't a bad decision.
  - I don't have a problem with the price if it's good - mhardy6647 16:59:12 08/27/22 (0)
    I.e., Accuphase-good.
    
    I am still aggravated by the meters, though. ;)
    
    all the best,
    mrh
