From what I understand about the 1050's tuner is that it has excellent sound quality but requires a high signal to pull in. I think this is deliberate. Cheaper tuners will often pull in weaker signals (though not sound nearly as good) because they aren't as selective. I had the 1050 for a while and it sounded great on the stations it would receive. I'm only about 10 miles from Philadelphia, though, so I get a lot of good, strong stations.

The 950's tuner is kind of the same way. It really does sound CD quality.
