In a world given to compromise, Magnum Dynalab has conceded nothing in
its approach to building their flagship tuner, the MD 108. Known for
manufacturing FM Tuners of unparalleled quality, famous for their
balance of Sensitivity, Selectivity and Sonic performance, it was only a
matter of time before Magnum Dynalab achieved the pinnacle of FM Tuner
performance. Manfred Breunig, designer of Magnum Dynalab products, is
confident the MD 108 is that achievement.

Designed and constructed with the music lover in mind, the MD 108 is a
hybrid tuner utilizing a truly new ANALOG R.F. section with precise
MAGIC EYE tube tuning and a separate audio stage developed to exacting
standards, utilizing two 12 AX 7 tubes in the audio switching stage.

A precision tuning pot ensure optimum resolution from the five stage
varactor front end.

One of the advantages of valves is their high operating voltage, seems a
shame to compromise this by using varactors. Can no-one build a decent
mechanical variable cap set these days?

Slainte,

Jim
