Actually, the first link by Lngbruno if the best, and was the one I was originally thinking of but couldn't remember. Should have read the post more carefully.
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)

I'm not a tuner expert but you may want to consider a Magnum Dynalab FT-101A. I've read a number of comments on them that they are not that well made but I have one and have been perfectly satisfied with it. Then again, I haven't spent a lot of time searching out alternatives. You can generally find used FT-101A's here on Agon for under $500. |
As for what all the words mean, try these links: http://www.fanfare.com/fm-specs.html or http://www.theabsolutesound.com/newsletter/5_14_2003/142_howto_tuner.html I'm sure there are others that might be better, but they should provide what you need even if lengthy. |
