Description :

A legendary piece of American hi-fi history: the McIntosh MR 74 Solid State AM/FM Stereo Tuner.

Produced during McIntosh’s "golden era" of audio engineering (1972–1982), the MR 74 is widely considered by audiophiles to be one of the finest, most musical analog tuners ever produced. It features exceptional selectivity, a robust chassis design, and the iconic illuminated glass faceplate that defines the McIntosh legacy.

This specific unit comes complete with its original factory owner's manual, making it an excellent addition for collectors and vintage audio enthusiasts alike.


  • Uncompromising Performance: Shares its highly regarded tuner circuit design with the famous MX113 tuner-preamplifier, delivering superb sound staging and low distortion.
  • Advanced Tuning & Selectivity: Built-in narrow/normal selectivity switch to pull in weak, distant stations even next to strong local signals.
  • Iconic Aesthetics: Features the timeless black glass front panel, dual illuminated tuning/signal meters, and weighted analog tuning dial.
  • Premium Connectivity: Built-in volume control allows it to be connected directly to a power amplifier if desired, or seamlessly into your existing preamplifier setup.
  • Dimensions: Approx. 16" W x 5.5" H x 13" D
  • Weight: 25 lbs
