FM/AM Tuner under around $500


I am looking to purchse a tuner but I do not really know the terminology involved or what the numbers associated with those words actually mean. If anybody can help on the following list it would be appreciated.

Selectivity:

Harmonic Distortion:

Separation:

S/N Ratio:

Capture Ratio:

Also if you have any product ideas for me to look and that as well ($500 range)

For a real killer tuner. Pick up a vintage Pioneer TX-9800 am/fm analog tuner. This tuner is amazing in every way.
TX-9800 weighs about 30 lbs in a nice cabinet. They are a steal if you can find one under $275.

It's close in a lot of ways to being as good as my other tuner the Marantz 10B (tubes gives it the warmth edge)
