Feedback: I am really happy with the two repairs that your shop did for me in the past couple of months. The MR71 and the MC30 work great and I enjoy using them. Again I am really pleased with the repairs that Audio Classics did. N.U. CA |

I have received both the (MR71) tuner and C28 Preamplifier. ... The items arrived in very good condition and I am now enjoying the units. Very good job in packing and the items are like what was described in the sales brochure.You can be sure that the next time I go shopping for stereo equipment AudioClassics will be my first stop. Keep up the good work. I will definitely recommend your website to my other colleagues. K.Y., Canada |

Thank you for the quick turn around and your personal attention in getting the tuner back to me in a timely manner. I had a chance to listen to the unit last night and this morning and it sounded terrific; as it had 15 years ago when Richard Modafferi did his magic on it then - with the Modafferi Mod. Stereo imaging is crisp and detailed. Everything sounded “just right”. Please thank him for me and let him know how happy I am with the result. I want to thank Audio Classics and its staff in serving the audio community. Thank you for having the knowledge and know-how in repairing classic equipments (like the MR71) for audiophiles to enjoy. Please accept my sincere thanks to you and your staff for the attention to detail and for the services you provide. Happy listening and look forward to doing business with you and your company again.

I have received my MR71, given it some burn it, as it has a lot of new parts, and now feel that it is fully burned in. My thoughts on the Unit follow:
1. Magnificent sound quality - it has returned to its Marantz 10b killer status. After break in, I came into my house and heard in the living room Bach's Unaccompanied Cello played by Starker. I have the original Mercury album by Starker and frequently play it. I immediately accused my wife of using my TT to play the Mercury Starker, as it sounded so close to the LP that I did not think that it could have been FM. I have asked my wife to stay away from the LP head end and was initially cross with her until pointed out to me that the TT was not operating, that the same Starker album was on FM. I was surprised as the Starker album sounded on FM so close to playing the original LP on a super tweaked TT/TA and cartridge that I could not hear anything that told me that it was FM only. I believe that this story says it all.
2. Stereo separation and selectivity - excellent.
Please give my thanks to Richard for having done his magic again with my Unit. Each time he has it (three times now) it comes back better than ever.

You folks did a wonderful job restoring my MR-71 Tuner.. H.R.,CA |

...how pleased I am with the work
that was performed on my McIntosh
MR71 Tuner by Richard Modafferi.
The unit was packed as thought it
came straight from McIntosh. I am
pleased with the test results that
Richard included with the tuner.
Also the tuner was very clean when
I received it. This is service of the
highest order. Please give Richard
Modafferi my sincere and warmest
thanks for a job well done.

I'm very pleased with the results of
our MR71 venture. The sound
quality is truly amazing with good
programming. Soft, lush top end &
detailed throughout the entire range.
I've never heard a tuner image like
this before and it is truly exceptional
in this regard. In comparison with
my MR78 modified by RM, it
seems to be an equal in sensitivity
and general sound quality. The 78
sounds more truncated in the highs,
but more extended. Also the special
controls offered
on the MR78 make selectivity
better. I now own two of the finest
sounding tuners that money can buy
(yes I've heard the 10B & Sequerra)
and can vigorously recommend both
units to music lovers! Thanks for
your advice on the RM
modifications to these specimens.

I received the MR71 tuner... I
checked it out visually and it's
beautiful. ...Thanks you again for
your true honesty in describing the
piece. It's a true treasure. ... I'm am
so very proud of EVERY single
piece of my McIntosh collection
thanks to your honesty and the
whole Audio Classics experience.
You are truly unmatched in your
pursuit providing the enthusiast
with the finest examples of classic
audio gear with stellar sales, service
and communication.

Richard Modafferi truly brought my
MR71 much further than back to
life: I have a loaned Marantz 10b in
my house. It was comparing the two
that caused me to send my MR71
back to Mr. Modafferi.
THE NEWLY REPAIRED AND
FURTHER MODIFIED MR71
OUTPERFORMS THE 10B IN
THE FOLLOWING
PARAMATERS:
The 10B sounds distorted in the
highest frequencies in comparison.
The MR71 easily tunes and locks in
stations that are challenges to the
10B. The overall presentation of the
MR71 is just plain lovely.
My best thanks and congratulations,
Mr. Modafferi. You have done it
again! In my humble opinion, the
Modafferi MR71 is a masterpiece.

received the "exchanged" tuner last
week and am very impressed. The
lettering and faceplate, and of
course the sound, are all superb, ... I
also wish to extend my deep
appreciation for your help in
educating the seller of the original
MR71 I purchased on the meaning
of "MINT...I MEAN MINT!!!!"
Thanks for you time and assistance,
as always. I continue to recommend
your organization to my friends and
colleagues. Oh, and I should
mention that your shipping methods
are EXTRAORDINARY; I should
have photographed it so others
could see...I've never seen anything
so well perfectly conceived and
realized.Thanks, K.W.,FL |

.....McIntosh MR71 tuner. I just
wanted to drop you a note to say
how grateful I am. Richard did an
outstanding job calibrating, cleaning
and adding a few gizmos. It plays
better than ever! P.S., NY
