In Reply to: I don't think that the Sony HD tuner you mention used the traditional air-variable capacitor to tune posted by mhardy6647 on August 30, 2014 at 17:29:41:
Maybe not for dx'ing but a lot of very excellent sounding tuners including I think at the time all or almost all tube tuners use the 3-ganger. More is not necessarily "better". For instance with most tuners, the more I.F. stags usually detracts from the sound while adding to marketing driven specs.
