Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: Jolida 402 Tube Tuner

I worked on one. It uses someone's FM tuner/multiplex board coupled with a tube output stage. One item I'd opine that Jolida overlooked is a "cheap" electrolytic cap in the output of the multiplex stage that couples the audio to the output stage. Replacing that with a better one (I used Elna Cerafine) improved the sound noticeably.

A problem I couldn't fix was that the tuning was slightly off. It uses a Phase Locked Loop whose frequency is set by a crystal with no on-board adjustment.

Didn't try tube rolling
