Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo

MOST people have never heard great FM, I put a dedicated antenna in my attic, just above my MX110z’s renowned tuner, aimed at WBGO’s antenna which I learned here is not with the offices in Newark, NJ, it’s at 4 Times Square, Manhattan, 42nd Street and Broadway.

I’ve got to check the connections for my other antenna which captures OTA Digital TV and FM for my Garage/Shop system’s Yamaha CR-1040 Receiver. Many don’t know, OTA Digital TV is as good as your cable quality, amazing compared to tin foil wrapped rabbit ears. 

OTA TVfrom my roof antenna is superior to streaming the same local channels. I have a Luxman T110 tuner in mothballs. DC has one jazz and one classical FM station; I listen while driving.

I also have a MD 102 which is also a great tuner.   Unfortunately some local stations are being moved to HD or AM in favor of talk / news radio.  

Yep it's amazing how great FM can be!

MOST people have never heard great FM ...

I think that's true. Even among audiophiles, many who buy a pricey tuner won't go to the trouble of adding a proper antenna for their location. With FM, the antenna can be as critical as the tuner itself.

I'm still using my McIntosh MR-80 that I bought back in the late '70s. There are still some bright spots on the FM dial, and a good tuner can make a big difference.
