In Reply to: Tuner specs, what are the more important numbers posted by airtime on March 24, 2007 at 09:16:01:
In addition to the very good list that mkmelt supplied, I also look at capture ratio. It expresses how well a tuner can separate two stations on the same frequency. Not too common a problem, but it can occur if you are between cities. We used to have problems here in Cleveland with a Detroit station on the same frequency.I find that in the modern era with the air full of "stuff" from cell phones. cordless phones, pagers, planes, digital noise, etc. The tuners from a lot of the 70's receivers are not up to the job. I tried several and ended up with an Onkyo Integra T-4087, which is clean as a whistle. My main problem here is multipath, owing to the city water tower being 180 degrees away from the antenna of our local good music station.
Remember that a good, directional antenna mounted as high as possible is the best solution. An average tuner with a good antenna will outperform a great tuner with a crappy antenna.
