From what I have read the Mac 1500 & 1700 are not the same as any of the stand alone McIntosh tuners. I have not owned or heard a Mac receiver so can't speak from experience.
Keep in mind Frank McIntosh never liked the idea of a receiver or the quality of sound from them. In fact he refused to put the McIntosh name on them.
If you want a nice tuner by all means get a McIntosh tuner.
Or you could buy a MX113. It is basicly a C26 and MR74 in one case. THey sound great to my ears. For more money an MX110Z is outstanding. I recently got one and love it. Mated with an MC2505 is a wonderful match.
