Tuner

In many contexts, tuner can also refer to the actual component doing the same task. In hi-fi terminology, a receiver is an amplifier integrated with a tuner, and these two functions need not be built together.

Audiophiles and FM DXers prefer tuners over receivers[?] for the increased sound quality and versatility that comes with being built as a separate product.

A tuner is also a professional who adjusts the pitch of musical string instruments such as pianos. Electronic devices that do much the same thing exist as well, mainly for guitars.
