From reading I have done, it appears that and in general, antenna tuners increase signal strength as much as noise in a receive only context. So they are generally not useful for receive.
If that's true, what if somebody has an old vintage receiver where the sensitivity is low on certain bands? Such that suppose one is listening to a station with a great signal to noise ration but the signal is weak. And consquently, one has to crank the volume up or all the way up to hear that signal.
Would an antenna tuner help boost the signal so as to better drive the audio amplifier? Or would an RF pre-amp be better?
