Depending on the tuner, yes IMO. My MX110 is ‘spooky real, like in the room with you’ when listening to the DJ talk between tunes on a jazz college station I listen too. Definitely more variety of music with streaming though.Would it be wrong to say
FM : streaming/XM
as
Vinyl : CD ?

I did VERY well reselling my Mc2300’s this year.Sounds to me like you simply purchased units at prices that you perceived were a value - when in reality, you paid commensurate with the market.
Agree with tuner prices being soft, just not much demand.
Yeah, maybe tuners are softening, but I just had a look at pricing for amps, I bought a mint MC2205 about 7 or 8 years ago for $1800US, you'd be lucky to find one for that sort of money now I'd say...They way many are streamimgmusic now has reaaly made FM obsolete it seems, I grew up in the NYC area when FM radio was about the best in the country but times have changed
The C39 will never recover as an AV unit but my guess is that it will stabilize in the +/-$1,000 range as a really, really nice two channel preamp. I bought my MX130 in that price range strictly for two channel and it has been a terrific piece of audio.I did VERY well reselling my Mc2300’s this year.
However, my c-39 preamp is functionally obsolete, and would not bring much in the open market, in spite of its original $4700 price tag.( It’s not for sale anyway)
It all boils down to demand for a particular unit.

The recycled playlists that these stations are a joke.Back in the day each DJ on WNEW Fm in New York City were theirown program directors and played what they wanted to based on thier mood. Anyone hear ever listen to the late Alisson Steele ? truly one of the best ever.
We still have radio like this in NZ....Very much worth having a decent tuner where I live...The recycled playlists that these stations are a joke.Back in the day each DJ on WNEW Fm in New York City were theirown program directors and played what they wanted to based on thier mood.

The C39 and MX130 are tremendous bargains as two channel preamps if found for $700-$800 in good condition.
