Magnum-Dynalab MD-100 FM Tuner

A name long associated with superlative audiophile tuners, Magnum-Dynalab tuners have established a reputation world wide for their outstanding performance. Though not inexpensive, Magnum-Dynalab offers a range of FM tuners that will fit most budgets.

If you are serious about FM, you’ll find complete satisfaction with the performance of a Magnum-Dynalab tuner.

Magnum-Dynlab believes that analog tuning circuits provide performance superior to digital or frequency synthesis tuning. In contrast with the frequency synthesis method of tuning, analog is not dependent on a digital microprocessor chip to establish the tuner's receive frequency. With analog, tuning is accomplished using specially-selected, discrete components in the tuner's critical "front end." In the Magnum Dynalab design, these components are selected and matched so that a unique balance of sensitivity, selectivity and sound can be maintained.

However, the most significant advantage in analog is that is delivers control into the hands of the user. Infinite tuning is available in order to establish maximum stereo separation or to detune slightly in order to minimize on-frequency noise. With frequency synthesis tuners, this capability is offered usually in fixed, 50KHz steps. While FM stations themselves are rarely found to be transmitting outside the +-2KHz standard, FM station signals that are rebroadcast over cable may not be quite so precise.

The MD-100, encompassing over 20 years of experience in the design of FM tuning technology, offers a new reference in terms of sonic realism.

The MD-100 features a custom designed 4-stage RF front end, sure to extract the most intricate signals from amongst the milieu of FM congestion. Additional support is given through our custom Auto Blend RF circuit, which constantly monitors and varies your stereo separation insuring optimal "stereo quieting" during your listening sessions.
Dual, keyed automatic gain control (AGC) - Monitors and maintains program signal level and clarity, along with providing a dramatic reduction in interference from strong, local stations.

Extra: Imagine the superb performance of a Magnum-Dynalab tuner enhanced with the enchanting liquidity of vacuum tubes. The boys at Magnum-Dynalab did just that and now offer a class a triode analog output stage as an option on any of their models. Check out the “Related Products” link below to learn more.
