in my opinion, for good quality FM listening, NAD tuners are the best, especially the legendary 402 and its sibling, the 412.
Any idea how much are their prices?

Before that, getting one of these NAD tuners here in India is extremely difficult. Reuben initially told me that NAD owners usually don't part with theirs and this is very true. There are many FMs here patiently waiting for years to get their hands on any one of these NAD tuners.
I had a couple of me friends visit me last month and they got to audition my setup and when I played the NAD 412 tuner, one of them asked which CD am I playing and with a smirk I told him its Radio and he was speechless

I think RP has summed up the NAD 412 fantastically well. Personally I have listened to several tuners but when I heard the NAD 402, I was amazed by the sound. I was even more amazed to note the quality of stereo reception, despite only a 1.5 ft piece of flex wire, being used as a make-shift antenna. Would like to thank my good friend, FM Flanker who first introduced me to NAD tuners and their quality sound.
From my experience, the NAD 402 and 412 are superior because of their high sensitivity, great filtering (noise, static, etc is usually filtered out unless it is unbearable), and their sound quality is fantastic. These NADs also feature the "blend" function which bring forth a mild version of stereo, even in low reception conditionis when other tuners would play in mono with background noise.
And yes, those who experience and own these NADs, don't usually sell. Those who eventually do are those who are fed up with their local FM station's content and see no use for a tuner.

Reuben, I understand your sentiments. But here OP has option available in front of him. He asked if it is good or not. I am telling its good.
So from tuner point of view I can see its analog tuning, local oscillator, mixer with air gang, IC demodulated-stereo decoded sound. NAD is also same except digitally tuned. Believe me this won't sound bad. I have aligned at least 6 different tuners in last 2 years time. But warmth of analog tuned stages is always different. You immediately fall in love. From one FM, I have got chance to see NAD from internally. Even got chance to compare it with my Tandberg TPT 3001. [This was unfair comparison.] That's why I am telling.

Noted.
Was actually talking about NAD in the general sense, not in relation to the JVC tuner.
No problem brother. You and RP are absolutely correct regarding NAD. NAD is one of the good, 'no-nonsense' and VFM tuner. But it is not so easy to find. Still if option given, one can't ignore this JVC.
Is NAD 412 or 402 readily available nowadays?

have to be patient, they appear once in a while on quickr/olx but are highly priced.
