Do higher end tuners pull in more stations


?
Have got a nice bottom of the line NAD digital tuner (think it listed at about 200 when I bought it two or three years ago) and a well installed (IMHO) outdoor antenna.
As you go up the food chain in tuners do you typically get;
1. Better sound and no significant difference in fm reception.
2. Better sound and more staticky fringe stations.
3. Better sound and more stations that come in strong and clear enough to be enjoyable.

Other thing, if the answer is 3, anyone got a favorite tuner at a good price to performance ratio?

There are some very good tuners manufactured today, but there are plenty of vintage tuners that are better and can be had for less.

You will also find that different tuners can be better at different things - some are very sensitive, some a very selective. There are a lot of compromises to make based on what your needs are.
