Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore?

Try listening to your FM tuner >> EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. <<.

It’s amazing how it can sound even better with less airwave traffic going on.

Fired up the Magnum Dynalab FM tuner early on the all-tube system today.

98 Rock never sounded better, and the throwback sound can be enjoyable.

Sure do, [FM Nerd] here too, had more than a few from McIntosh, Fanfare/B&K, Magnum Dynalab, Sansui, and others. Every once in a while it gets turned on in rotation and played for a full day. Easy when you don’t feel like messing with streaming or you are just letting the system play, walking & working around the house.

Some of our local stations play content I don’t normally search for or play on streaming services, and it sounds pretty good when things are warmed up nicely. An old habit to shake after growing up with it all over several decades.

Just seeing it there, playing it, lit up on display still feels like old audio "home" I guess.

Magnum Dynalab MD-102 owner here too, add me to the virtual diehard list.

@yyzsantabarbara The station that I love to listen to has an emphasis on high quality source material (when possible) The DJ’s bring in vinyl when they can because they say it sounds better.

Nice! Yep, and when it occurs, you can sense it - something more engaging about the sound and music - and it’s noticeable right away. I was sharing with a few friends how I still very much enjoy my MD FM tuner periodically, on late nights. They think Im silly. Hard to explain to anyone who’s never really heard it first hand. Sure helps to have a great tuner and good FM antenna to lock it in. 👍

Some times I’ll swap over to streaming the same track on 16/44 lossless, and while its more clear, it may not always have the "alive" vibe type of sound as it does with good FM sometimes. Like you said, the few Radio DJs that play vinyl periodically.
