Aside from my rant in previous post re/importance of antenna and the only antenna that will make a big difference (read astounding difference ) is a rooftop rotatable. That is all true. I think my rant also was due to the fact that I have since moved to rural area which I term FM wasteland so I no longer listen to analog FM (limited listening to a FM community station out of Chico, Ca with a dipole antenna in both systems using Kenwood 600T in one and Mitzu DA-F20 in another) I digress. Im so far out in the boonies that even rooftop would not pick up my preferred stations 150- 170 miles away so my unobtanium APS 13 yagi sits in a box in the garage. I would likely be able to pull in Sacramento stations although I do not see much in the way of eclectic offering there.
So my rant based in part on being p'o'ed on having lost a major source of music satisfaction. The tuners in themselves are a source of satisfaction similar in effect in how we can enjoy with our other system components.
At any rate,, the bottom line here is if you have a station that you are really dedicated to or even better a couple of them in your area and you are using an FM tuner by all means , by whatever means --install a rooftop antenna which will enable the music being broadcast to be at its best possible quality. Again it needs to be rotatable as that dials in the optimal signal strength and with a tuner with multipath meter will help to potentially avoid interference or reflected signal.
For me listening to a station where by there are no commercials and the DJ's come off like genuine souls and do not have to abide by a playlist dictated by a higher power but instead play what they enjoy that becomes a good opportunity to hear music that is not mainstream and lets one decide whether to buy it.
