Hi Audiogatorjim,

Yes I have one, yes they sound very good. If you have the means, simple cap replacement will improve the imaging depth and width, bass will tighten up nicely. Better yet, its pretty easy to implement.

The tuner lacks an audio output buffer in stock form, there's a schematic for a DIY buffer that fits inside the case tied to the FM Tuner review that lets this little beastie play with the best of the best. This mod is a little tougher, but worth the effort.

You can see a completed one with the buffer here:

Enjoy your new toy!
