About the MD-108T

The MD-108T is a flagship hybrid analog FM tuner designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality and precise tuning. It incorporates Magnum Dynalab's proprietary TRACC (Triode Reference Audio Control Center) audio board and dual toroidal transformers that separate power supplies for the RF section and audio stage, ensuring minimal interference. The tuner features a six-stage RF front end with three ultra-sensitive bandwidth settings and enhanced selectivity, allowing optimal signal reception from two analog antenna inputs. It uses a true differential balanced audio circuit with triode tube design for perfectly matched balanced signals, enhancing performance in balanced systems. The front panel includes premium Sifam signal strength and multipath meters, along with a unique magic eye tube for center channel tuning, providing precise visual tuning aids. The audio stage employs two 12AX7 tubes in a Class A configuration with zero capacitors after the gain stage, delivering a natural and warm sound. Outputs include high-grade XLR connectors for balanced output and gold-plated WBT RCA connectors for unbalanced output. The tuner supports multiple power voltages (110/220/230/240 VAC) and consumes 50W typical power. Dimensions are 5 x 19 x 16 inches (12.8 x 48.3 x 40.7 cm) with a weight of 40 lbs (17.1 kg). Tube replacements use 6922 MD Cryovalve and MD Reference 6922 tubes. The MD-108T was considered a world reference standard FM tuner for many years and remains highly regarded for its sonic performance and build quality.
