yes.
Everyday! We have WTMD 89.7 (adult alternative) and WBJC 91.5 (classical) in the Baltimore area. College radio stations offer great commercial free music. I can just hit the power button on my MAC7200 and I can instantly hear a great mix of music picked by DJs that know a lot more about music than I or any computer/algorithm. My Bluesound Node can’t tell me stories about the time it met Pearl Jam at Lollapalooza in 1992. And I love the live broadcasts of the MET Opera on Saturdays. There are so many cool ways to discover new music these days. |
I think tuners can offer a different listening experience. Analog sound and as @baylinor said, some stations are hi-res and sound really good. I first had a Fanfare. Later got a Marantz ST6000 before their quality went way down. Day Sequerra, Magnum Dynalab, and McIntosh also really nice. McIntosh has some of the best looking tuners IMHO. |
