Hi sushi and jazz drummer,

Yes, Pioneer generally has very good FM tuners in their receivers and their car units. You have to read the specs on home FM tuners very carefully. They often play fast and loose with S/N ratios (quoting the mono figure, which is always at least 10 dB quieter than stereo FM; likwise distortion). Plus the "30 dB quieting sensitvity" figure is nonsense. With noise just 30 dB down, an FM signal is barely listenable. Look for the "50 dB Quieting" in stereo.
