[New Yahoo Group started: "AM Tube Tuners". See end of this message
for more info.]

In the last couple of years I've posted various inquiries to this and
related newsgroups regarding high-performance, tube-based AM (MW/BCB)
tuners, both "classic" and modern.

I'm very interested in building such a tuner to match with
audiophile-grade tube amplifiers and pre-amplifiers now being built by
hobbyists (as well as those sold by commercial vendors.) There are
quite a few nice kits now being marketed for audiophile quality tube
amps/pre-amps, such as those made by diytube (http://www.diytube.com/
-- there are many others like diytube.) So why not similar kits (or
workable designs) for a tube-based AM tuner?


My Hi-Fidelity AM Tuner is a Eico HFT94. I have two of them.
Built both around 1960. Not many AM transmitters left broadcasting
a worthwhile signal in North America. But they do well on what is
left in this area, away from interference.

If anyone is living in an apartment, don't bother trying for good AM.
Even the manufacturers of SS receivers do a poor job with their AM
section,
recognizing the many problems external & out of control of the tuner.

Cheers, John Stewart
