Hi, is there any advantage in vacuum tube tuner performance when using a separate multiplex unit added to a FM mono tuner rather than a all in one stereo unit? The guy who runs Mapleshade seems to think so requarding HH Scott tuners. I have a Heathkit FM3, gold colored tuner, mono that my father built. If I could ever get that back to life and use a multiplex to boot,would it be worth the effort, sound wise?....Mark Korda

Some of the 'outboard' multiplex units were Excellent performers-
there was a bit of a race to the market among the competing formats and MFGs-
IIRC, the H.H.Scott units are the best-
but fisher and McIntosh made good units to render any mono tuner stereo-
and I would also second Eli's comment on the Dyna FM-3...check out the FAQs or google it - but there are some simple/good mods for this unit also-
Happy Listening
Heath tuners are decent and represent good value. IMO, adding MPX decoding to the "box" is a good idea. DIYer extraordinaire S. Bench provides the schematic.
