Description

Magnum Dynalab FT-101A Classic Canadian made Audiophile Analog FM Tuner in Original Box

in Excellent Collectors quality condition, and tested Working great.

  I have the original shipping box with the inserts for safe shipment, I do not have the exact manual but there is one for the Elude model which is similar.

The Magnum Dynalab FT-101A is a classic Canadian-made audiophile analog FM tuner (FM-only) from around 1990, an updated successor to the original FT-101 (introduced 1985). It is highly regarded by enthusiasts for its build quality, warm musical sound, sensitive front-end (especially after alignment), and iconic look with three backlit analog meters (for multipath, tuning, and signal strength), a heavy stainless steel flywheel tuning knob, and rack-mountable design.
 
 
It uses varactor (electronic) tuning but feels analog and manual. There are variations, including the upgraded "Etude" version. Many owners report excellent results with proper setup, and antenna optimization. It is praised for natural, warm tonality suitable for music listening (e.g., classical, jazz)  in tough RF environments without tweaks.
