In fantastic cosmetic condition and perfect working order
The age/generation matters here because this is an older tuner, but at £350 it lands miles below your £3,420 25th percentile and is a strong bargain versus the recent comparable asking market. For a clean excellent example, that is the kind of number that makes the listing worth moving on quickly rather than haggling hard.
These Magnum Dynalab units are well regarded for serious FM performance, good sensitivity, and a presentation that still appeals to analogue radio fans. The upside is obvious if you want a proper high-end tuner without paying collector money: if it’s fully working and sensibly serviced, this is a lot of performance for £350. I’d just confirm reception locks, stereo operation, and that the front panel and display are healthy, because on older tuners those are the details that matter most.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Magnum Dynalab was founded in 1984 in Canada by Manfred Breunig, emerging from an innovative FM signal booster called the Signal Sleuth that revolutionized weak-signal reception. This breakthrough paved the way for the company's debut tuner, the FT-101, in 1985, which earned immediate acclaim. Originally based in Brampton, Ontario, the family-owned enterprise built its heritage on meticulous engineering, later acquired by Jim Richards in 2014 and then by Colquhoun Audio Laboratories in 2023, ensuring continued Canadian craftsmanship in Dwight, Ontario.
The brand specializes in premium FM tuners, having developed 15 analog models over decades, including the tube-infused Triode Series for audiophile warmth. Complementing these are world-class directional and omnidirectional FM antennas, essential for optimal performance. Magnum Dynalab has expanded into the Dynamyte Series, encompassing HD music streamers, digital audio converters like the MD-1ME, integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, and internet radio tuners, all prioritizing pure, unaltered sound through top-tier components.
Positioned as a high-end niche boutique in the hi-fi market, Magnum Dynalab commands reverence among tuner enthusiasts for its unmatched analog refinement and forward-looking digital integration. Collectors prize its vintage models, while modern buyers value the enduring service and trade-in programs. Under Colquhoun's stewardship alongside Bryston and Axiom, it sustains a legacy of technical excellence for discerning listeners seeking broadcast and streaming supremacy.
