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

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

BTW, I believe that someone over on the Yahoogroups FM tuner chatroom was building up a PC board and maybe a kit of parts for an IC decoder - don't know what chip they were using.

[there were at least two generations of IC decoders with the second haveing an order of magnitude less distortion].

The boards I like to use came from VSM audio on Long Island - he originally used the LM1700 (I believe) first generation chip and then changed to a second generation Toko chip. Uses a voltage doubler to derive 12 VDC power from a 6.3VAC (tube filament) source so it can (fairly easily) mount in a mono (tubed) tuner.

Cheers
