The Sony ST-5130 – this is the tuner that Sony notoriously claimed "stopped the traffic in Times Square." They were, of course, talking about background noise, and hyping their "Impulse Noise Suppression." Hype aside, this is one clear tuner, with pro features like scope-out, and independently controlled headphone jack. Time to tune in.

- Liner Notes
The St-5130 incorporates the most advanced Sony techniques in FM tuner technology and full utilization of the available devices. The MOS FET’s, other all silicon transistors, and solid-state filters employed in the ST-5130 are specially designed to bring out the most in your tuner.Sensitivity, interference rejection, and other vital factors which affect the quality of a tuner are greatly determined by the characteristics of the front end. The front end of the ST-5130 has MOS FET’s in the mixer and r.f. stages, thus it achieves exceptionally high sensitivity, overload capability, image rejection, superior cross-modulation rejection, and low internal noise. The ST-5130 delivers clean audio output even if the unit is operated near a powerful transmitter, or receives very weak stations in distant fringe areas.
