In Reply to: Tuner specs, what are the more important numbers posted by airtime on March 24, 2007 at 09:16:01:
..The rejection sensitivies define how well the tuner can keep one local station from being distorted by another strong station on a nearby band. I'll leave it to others to define what is good and what is excellent in this regard...but they should at least be greater than 50db,65db respectively...S/N ratio once full limiting is reached (i.e. with a strong signal) can range from 60db up to 75db or 80db. In general, solid state and later tuners will have higher S/N's. However, anything over 65db is generally adds inaudible noise at normal listening levels. Above the level, the audio qualities of the tuner itself (like any hi-fi component) become more important.
Hope this helps.
