The controls give me more control over the station tuning. Although not as warm sounding as the MR67 it makes better use of the external antenna, is much more selective and the sound is crisper and more detailed. I also very much enjoyed the book about the Amplifier Clinics, of which I took advantage a few times at Stuart's Audio in Westfield, NJ. Would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for a job very well done in the restoration of my C28, MC2205 and MR78 some time back.The strapped pallet shipped back to me was so beautiful, I didn't want to open it up right away.Your shipping technique is unmatched.Nothing short of an explosion or fire could cause any damage to units shipped via your packing methods.All is well and the units are looking and sounding, at least to my ears, like they did in 1973.Thanks again for making the decision to have you ship them back to me a "no-brainer". Nice piece of electrical engineering legacy. It is a great privilege to finally own one and know that it is working at peak efficiency. BTW, I sold McIntosh at stores in Seattle and San Diego for most of the 1970s and had an extremely high opinion of the MR78, but never could afford one, even on accommodation (starving student syndrome), at that time. I can't say how much better, as in before and after, but I can tell you that my favorite station is approximately 60 miles away and before Richard worked his magic it was listenable in mono, now it is listenable in stereo. I read Richard's notes several times, and even though I am an engineer myself (ME not EE), I know my limits and admit that I don't understand all that he wrote. Not being able to stand it, I took the rest of the day off and rushed home to hook it up and give it a listen. The MR78 arrived at my office yesterday afternoon. That tuner rocks! I'm listening to a low wattage Detroit classical music station now that required narrow and 1 step of filter but it is now crystal clear with great audio fidelity. Sometimes there is audible hiss and that can be cleaned up with filter selection. Stations tuned in Normal sensitivity with flickering or non-existent Stereo indications almost always produce a steady Stereo indicator when switched to narrow or super narrow. Please pass along my compliments and thanks! That tuner just hauls in the stations and with it's great selectivity there's no tromping from other stations. Modafferi for servicing this great piece of gear. And please add a special thank you to Mr. Thanks to you and the team for such quick and excellent service.
