Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: A couple quick noob questions for radio

#1- ""Does radio auto manipulate dynamics?""

Yes most of the time by using compression.

#2- ""does radio have it's own unique susceptibilities to sibilance? What about tuners? Are some tuners more prone to sibilance than others?""

Yes it has unique susceptibility to sibilance. The biggest place is perhaps from the whole aspect of receiving an RF signal via an antenna. So many things can go on (wrong) here. This is why some tuners have a multipath meter. Multiplath would be at or near the top of the list for this. I'd say while certainly tuners will differ in spec that other things are at play too beside design. Alignment of the tuner and all the things one does to improve this problem on other components like CD players such as AC delivery, cabling and on and on are at play with a tuner as well. Good luck.
