Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

received new tuner

just today got my MR 71 tuner, McIntosh, from Tom Manley at

http://www.mcintoshaudio.com/

included was a super owners manual, which i need to understand the controls.

tuner in mint condition, sounds great. condition is beyond belief. wow!

Tom Manley is an old fashioned, honest man. i would buy anything from him with the greatest confidence. he took endless time on the phone with me.

OK- dumb questions for you guys who know WAY more than I


1. is there supposed to be a "top" on the tuner? the tubes are just exposed.

2. i hooked up a cheap dipole antenna, to the 300 ohm screws. would the SOUND benefit from me getting a high quality 75 ohm antenna? Tom added a 75 ohm connector in the back.

3. any other advice?

this so far receives WCRB 99.5 from Boston, classical station, JUST GREAT!

i would recommend Tom with no reservations.

have a great day! bob
