Magnum Dynalab MD-102 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, youll 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.
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.
FEATURES:
Tunable five stage analog front end (the more stages, the better); provides station separation without affecting stereo separation; Magnum Dynalab's in-house design
Balanced output precision matched amplifiers produce a perfectly Balanced signal
BW 1 - Ultra wide IF Band Width setting; this setting produces the best sound where adjacent channel interference is not a factor
BW 2 - Narrow IF Band Width setting; this setting produces the best sound where adjacent channel interference is a factor
Dual AGC (automatic gain control) stage -- eliminates the need for a local and distant switch
Auto Blend RF Circuit Automatically monitors and adjusts stereo separation to maximise "stereo quieting", insuring the quietest stereo signal as possible. Greatly improving your listening quality.
Shielded toroid transformer reduces the noise floor of the tuner
Ultra linear capacitors in the power supply circuit improve the frequency response
Precision voltage stabilizers in the power supply circuit ensure precise tuning
Oxygen free wiring in the audio path provides a clean, uncolored path for the signal
Precision tunable matched IF (intermediate frequency) amplifiers ensures consistent specifications for adjacent channel separation, alternate channel separation and low distortion
Dual antenna inputs
Defeatable mute eliminates any interstation noise while tuning
Aluminum chassis provides total shielding
Analog meters easy to read center tune, multipath and signal strength measurements
WBT RCA output connectors
Gold plated Neutric Balanced connectors
