tuners, the red headed stepchild?


Why don't tuners get more respect? Talk about a passive component, just turn them on and walk away. They're the easiest way to get hours of uninterrupted music, yet compared to other sources, they are an afterthought.

Good used tuners can be had for less than the price of many power cords, interconnects, etc..
Theduke has it "DIALED" in.
There is plenty of great radio in the NYC area.
Garn509 and others - May I make just a few suggestions?
WKCR 89.9FM (WKCR.ORG)
Want blues? SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME OR TUESDAYS JUST AS BAD
Want classic soul and funk? Across 110th Street
Want jazz? BIRD FLIGHT TRADITIONS IN SWING
Want Bluegrass? MOONSHINE SHOW TENNESSEE BORDER SHOW
WBGO 88.3FM (WBGO.ORG)
Without a doubt one of the greatest Jazz stations in the country!
WFUV 90.7FM (WFUV.ORG)
(Fordham Univ. Voice)
New and classic music with great shows on SAT.afternoon
into the late hours and Sunday mornings.
Want THE GREAT AMREICAN SONGBOOK? Try WNYC 93.9 Sundays
Want Classical?
Try WQXR 96.3FM Great quality signal!!
So many stations-so little time.
A'goners outside the NYC area might check out these web sites. All are public supported.
Unsound - your right! Tuners can be had for cheap and sound better than snake oil cords.


Garn509,
Yes, NYC has all of what you mention and them some.

Do you want want oldies, doo-wop and vintage R&B, then try WFDU and WFUV.

Do you want vintage country and American roots music? Try WFMU and WKCR.

Do you want classic jazz, try WBGO. Do you want avant-garde jazz? Try WKCR.

Do you want classical music? Try WQXR.

Do you want 20th century classical music? Try WQXR2.

Why there's even a show on WFMU which specializes in acoustical recordings (Edison wax cylinders!).

Want to know about other genres? Please ask!

Garn509, do you live in the NYC listening area? If you do then you know not what you speak.

If you don't live here, why are you knocking a city with a fine radio scene?
