Analogue Tuner
This very high end FM tuner is in very nice condition.
Please note: Information on the internet explains the need for something other than an piece of wire stuffed in the aerial socket - which is exactly what I did for picture 5
Further information from the internet AI:
The Magnum Dynalab MD-100 is a classic, high-performance analog FM tuner that pairs well with directional Yagi FM antennas to pull in distant or weak broadcast stations
The Magnum Dynalab MD-100 is a high-end, pure analog FM stereo tuner known for its build quality, smooth manual flywheel tuning, and warm sound performance.
Key Specifications & Features:
• RF Front-End: In-house manufactured and manually aligned at three distinct frequencies (92 MHz, 101.5 MHz, and 106 MHz) for optimal sensitivity and selectivity across the FM band.
• Outputs: Both standard single-ended RCA outputs and XLR balanced outputs.
• Sensitivity: Usable sensitivity of 10.3 dBf in mono and 11.2 dBf in stereo.
• Audio Performance: Frequency response of 10 Hz – 17.5 kHz, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 80 dB, and total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.10% (mono) / 0.18% (stereo).
• Design & Build: Features analog tuning and signal meters, a solid front-end chassis, and dimensions of roughly 19" x 13" x 4.25" with a weight of about 15 lbs. An optional analog remote control with five station presets was also available.
User & Reviewer Insights
• According to user discussions on Audiokarma and Audiogon, the MD-100 is praised for its natural, crisp midrange, smooth analog ergonomics, and ability to pull in distant stations clearly when paired with a quality external antenna.
• A consensus on Reddit notes that a strong analog signal delivered through a dedicated tuner like the MD-100 typically sounds richer and more musical than compressed digital radio streams.
• Limitations to keep in mind: The base unit does not feature digital station presets (which require the optional remote setup), lacks an automatic scan function, and relies heavily on a good outdoor or unamplified rotatable antenna to avoid multipath and noise.
This comes with user manual and correct mains cable. No remote with this.
