Hi Scott,

I have had an MX-110 for more than 25 years. It's an excellent unit and
sounds quite good to me. Unfortunately, I live in Radio Free East
Texas, so I don't have much use for a tuner here. The preamp and phono
section are both very good. As Fred suggests, maybe you should try
before you buy.

Best regards,

Raymond

I'm interested in purchasing some Mcintosh tube gear, and am
particularly curious about the MX-110 tube tuner/preamp. I was
wondering if anyone here has heard one in person and can compare the
sound to a separate Mcintosh tuner and preamp.

Basically, I'm looking at either a C20 or C22 preamp with an
MR 65/67/71 tuner, or this MX110 combined unit. The MX110 is more
cost-effective, but I don't know if there's a big sound difference
either way.

Thanks,
Scott Gardner
