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

RE: Best de-multiplexer to copy? - Don't bother

Most IC multiplex decoders have it all over their tubed counterparts - from a noise, distortion and especially separation perspective - plus there is only one calibration adjustment to make. HOWEVER, for best sound, I've found that you do want to follow up the chip with a tubed output stage - say an SRPP variant (need a little extra gain and lower output impedance).

Some of the later Scott and MAC tubed decoders do sound good BUT require good stereo generators to attain best performance - especially good stereo separation above 1Khz.

If you do persist, have fun finding the specs for and winding the necessary coils.
