Magnum Dynalab MD 109 SE FM Tuner

A tuner can deliver to the ardent music lover a huge selection of
live and recorded music from a myriad of musical genres and can be
educational and unwaveringly pleasurable invented in 1933 by engineer Edwin Armstrong, wide-band FM is used worldwide to provide high-fidelity sound over broadcast radio. FM broadcasting is capable of better sound quality than AM broadcasting, the chief competing radio broadcasting technology, so it is used for most music broadcasts. The term "FM band" describes the frequency band  which is dedicated to FM broadcasting.

The 109 Signature Edition is described and presented as their best
made tuner. The tuner board is Magnum Dynalab’s the TRACC MKII audio has
been under development for 10 years by Zdenko Zivkovic, it features
Teflon By-pass caps, fully balanced output, on board trimmers so tubes
can be matched as they are listened to, WBT RCAs,  new old stock
Telefunken Ultra Premium tubes and a built to exceptional expectations
substantial chassis.

The Company

Magnum Dynalab came to market over 30 years ago, with the Signal
Sleuth, designed to boost and stabilize FM signals which was launched in
1984 and eventually led to the introduction of what would become their
core product line for many years analog FM tuners for the home market.

After success with the Signal Sleuth their first FM tuner the FT 101,
was launched in September 1985. From these pure analog design
fundamentals they have manufactured have 15 unique analog FM tuners over
the past 25 years, including the Triode series, incorporating tube
technology into the audio output stage of many of their products. To
complement their lineup of analog tuners, Magnum Dynalab also began
producing an assortment of both directional and omni-directional FM
antennas. 

With more than 30 years of business development in specialty audio
products they remain excited about the the analog and tuner future, as
do I. For a subjective comparison and evaluation I used a Day-Sequerra
FM Reference tuner and a McIntosh Laboratories MR-77 tuner (both of
which I own) each were placed on a HRS isolation platform and used
exclusively with the other associated equipment listed in the
sidebar. By association and cooperative participation a local college
radio broadcast station affiliated with the BBC and NPR (National Public
Radio) agreed to broadcast George Harrison All Things Must Pass and A Concert for Bangladesh, on vinyl in their entirety so that I might compare each tuner, in my listening room, with the same antenna and my ears.

The Magnum-Dynalab performance is definitely on a par with the Day
Sequerra—differences in audio quality between the two were very subtle,
similar to the differences between two different meter lengths of
top-quality audio cable. The tuners sounded very similar, with virtually
no discernible differences in balance, dynamics, or tonal quality. On
strong stations like Philadelphia WXPN the Magnum-Dynalab has better
focus and sound-staging and presented a more three dimensional image. On
medium-strength stations like WRTI from Temple University in
Philadelphia I couldn't detect any actual differences. The transparency
of both perfectionist level tuners was often scary.

The McIntosh tuner certainly presented quality FM radio, but as
you can imagine from a vintage piece of electronics manufactured
in 1977, it just sounded one dimensional and lacked
involvement. Surprisingly, they have been advancements in
electrical engineering over the past 40 years and it is noticeably
audible.

Conclusion

...in 40 + years enjoying the specialty audio hobby, and most each of
those years favoring FM and owning McIntosh, Day-Sequerra and a 1958
SABA alnico driver magnet vacuum tube driven table radio—what are  best
described as the best-state-of-the-art-tuners. I never imagined that
there might be literal perfection in the FM tuner category.  Is there a
best analog tuner in this world of digital?

Yes there is and the Magnum Dynalab MD 190-SE (Signature) is it for me.
