RE: Sparkler Audio Model S509 "nostalgia II" Broadcast FM/AM Tuner

Sparkler Audio's website confirms that the designer and builder Kazutoshi Tsukahara broke off from 47 Labs so the resemblance is no coincidence. I can attest that the AM and FM sound quality is excellent, rivaling the best tuners at any price. I am able to get over 20 listenable FM stations with just an indoor folded dipole here in Anchorage. A long wire wrapped around the supplied ferrite antenna enables adequate AM reception. Tsukahara-san has chosen about a 50 dB S/N threshold to enable FM stereo reception so you will hear weak stations in mono.
