Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?

The best listening experiences I've ever had was on FM radio. School closings on snowy days. The sound quality was such, that you couldn't pull me from the radio with a crowbar. I have yet to duplicate the experience.

I always thought school closing messages sounded better on AM...

Like others have said, I grew up with AM/FM and will always have a tuner. When I tried streaming, I loved it for the incredible variety and wealth of music but still kept the tuner.

It's when I moved my Darwin Silver ICs from my SACD player (to make room for the Darwin Ascension ICs) to my tuner that my appreciation for FM jumped up several rungs as it now sounds really, really good.

All the best,

I kinda listen to FM.

I had to escape the innanity of commercial FM and found refuge at the bottom of the dial with the local commercial free listener supported jazz station, 88.3 KSDS.

All the time when driving - and at home, TWC carries Music Choice channels and one of them is KSDS.

I like the format, the dj's and the programs (lots of variety with straight up jazz, but also blues, big band, latin salsa...)

So, no streaming for me.

I rarely listened to my FM tuner but I have a reason now. In Palm Springs there is an FM kdez that has 80's new wave Friday night. So much good stuff came out of that Era Psychedelic Furs,Inxs,Elvis Costello,Blondie,The Fixx and so many others. I digg it and when I'm in the mood I mix a drink while it's on and relax.
