MAGNUM DYNALAB - MD-106T HYBRID FM TUNER IN BLACK w - 17'' FACEPLATE

Introduced in 2003, the MD 106T is one of our flagship products here at Magnum Dynalab. As the original offering in our successful series of Hybrid FM tuners, the MD 106 Triode is the first of Magnum Dynalab's FM tuners to use tube technology in the amplification stage. Consistent with our design philosophy to separate the analog R.F. section and the audio section, the MD 106T provides a Magnum tuner for those customers with a special partiality for the tube experience.

Like all Magnum Dynalab tuners, 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 grasp the full emotion of the music.

Secondly, the design of the power supply utilizes a special path and high-grade components, which eliminates any ripple effect from the AC source that would interfere with the nuances in the music.

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 the design in the 106's audio section accomplishes his goal to allow our customers to feel the same passion for the music as he does.

Zdenko Zivkovic 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 & Benefits:

• Tunable five stage ANALOG front end (the more stages, the better); provides station separation without affecting stereo separation; Magnum Dynalab's in-house design
• Certified Amperex Bugle Boy 6922 tubes in the amplification stage - proven leader among tube manufacturers to provide the highest listening experience from the tube topography
  
• Magic Tuning Eye - embedded in faceplate for the most precise and accurate center tuning
  
• Balanced output -- fully complimentary circuit insures 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
  
• MIT Capacitors - used in the final audio stage and bypass, creating sound purity consistent with the original signal
  
• Dual AGC (automatic gain control) stage -- eliminates the need for a local and distant switch
  
• Pearl coolers - maintains constant operating temperature of the tube, ensuring maximum performance under a variety of conditions
  
• Auto Blend RF Circuit -- Automatically monitors and adjusts stereo separation to maximize 'stereo quieting', insuring the quietest stereo signal as possible. Greatly improving your listening quality.
  
• Shielded torroidal transformer -- reduces the noise floor of the tuner
  
• Ultra linear capacitors in the power supply circuit -- improve the frequency response
