MD-106T FM Tuner

[ + Larger View ]

MSRP $4700

The MD-106T Triode is the first of Magnum Dynalab's FM tuners using the Triode tube for the amplification stage. The MD-106T continues with the tradition of separating the analog R. F. section and the audio section in the tuner so that we cam optimize both areas of the design.

The MD-106T uses an in-house analog front end design that utilizes a specially aligned five stage front end with precise hand-matched components in the critical areas. This design and selection process allows us to maximize sensitivity and selectivity while minimizing distortion, so that the signal sent to the audio section is pure.

To complement this world class R.F. section, Zdenko Zivkovic has designed a world class triode audio section to insure the performance characteristics that customers have come to expect from Magnum Dynalab. Zdenko has paid special attention to three areas of the design.

First and the most important, is getting a complete grounding circuit so that there are not any stray ground path signals that will alter the micro-information, allowing the listener to get the full emotion of the music. Secondly the design of the power supply utilizing a special path and very high grade components eliminates any ripple effect from the AC source that would interfere with the nuances in the music. And, lastly but no less important is the zero feedback design that does not alter the original waveform. Zdenko has a passion for the music and in designing this audio section for the MD 106 Triode: his goal is that you should feel his passion for the music as he does.

Zdenko Zivkovic of Yugoslavia has many world class A tube-designed products to his credit, he has been designing tube audio sections for over 20 years, and we are proud to have him on the Magnum Dynalab team.

Features:

  • 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.
  • BW 1/ BW 2 bandwidth control - Switchable to effectively control annoying sideband interference.
  • Mute circuit - noise-activated with manual defeat switch.
  • Auto Blend RF circuit - automatically monitors and varies stereo separation insuring optimal "stereo quieting" during your listening sessions.
  • Stereo/Mono Mode - User switchable.
  • Digital frequency display - Independent frequency counter derives input from tuner's local oscillator section and displays in soft, amber 0.5" LED numerals.
  • Balanced Outputs-allows Felxibility in system design
  • Precision Flywheel Tuning -gives accuracy and ease of tuning.
  • Specialty Capacitors in Analog Section -insures total frequency response.
  • WBT unbalanced RCA output connectors -low tolerance connector made of highly ductile "OFC" copper, 24 carat gold-plated; insures a solid contact for interconnects.
