Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?

Point taken. But, I tend to prefer the old-school way. Tell you what 'though, if you ever listened to Phil Schaap you would probably change your mind.

good thing we can have both..vintage tuners sound great and hold their value...

I would add to what has been said in support of FM that there are reasons classic vintage tube tuners such as the Marantz 10B, the REL Precedent, certain models from H.H. Scott, Fisher, McIntosh, etc., often sell for thousands of dollars. And it is not just so they can sit on a shelf as collectibles.

I think that many audiophiles would be quite surprised at how good the better 1950's and 1960's tube tuners can sound, if in top condition and/or well restored, and if provided a good signal from a good station.

Personally, while I use a Squeezebox to listen to Internet radio (admittedly to transmissions that are bit rate compressed), and I appreciate the ability to tune in a vast number of stations from around the world, when it comes to sonics (as well as collectability, historical significance, and, for want of a better word, coolness) I don't envision ever selling my 1954 REL Precedent.

P.S: I wrote this post before seeing the post by Jl35 just above, with which of course I agree completely.

Frog, I can get Phil Schaap on WKCR right here in LA. The station broadcasts over the web...and it sounds excellent. I could get him if I lived in France. Nearly all FM stations have a web broadcast.
I own a Sansui TU-X1 beast of a tuner, it is in the rare class of top-shelf tuners that Al mentioned above. LA has only one jazz station...and it's not even in LA, it's in Long Beach and reception is spotty. I keep the Sansui tuner more out of fear that I may one day leave LA and find myself in a place with great FM jazz. And like you Al, I listen on my Squeezebox and keep my tuner for the cool factor also.

My brother in law works at a radio station doing everything from sales, news, and yes, playing music. I help keep him employed.
