Antennas for FM Tuners in Urban Setting


Can anyone recommend the best antennas to be used with a McIntosh tuner? This is my first foray into the world of tuners!

Look for Magnum Dynalab I think it is an ST3  about $100 decent ant.

They are also one of the very few companies still making FM Tuners in the high end market they can direct you to who and where you can procure an ant if they are not making any these days.

Good Luck

The best antenna is going to be a roof mounted antenna on a mast.  Unfortunately there aren't many being made. 

I recently purchased the ST3 antenna for my bedroom system and was not that impressed.  For an indoor antenna, I found that the less expensive  Magnum Dynalab SR100 worked better (for me).  I'm in a remote area pulling in distant stations.  I can't say if the ST3 might work better in an urban area.

I suggest checking out fmtunerinfo.com and the Yahoo FMTuners group.  Lots of great info about tuners there.
Unless you can rig a rooftop antenna, getting reception will be spotty with any of the indoor models. Depends on your location.

Start with a cheap dipole ($6.00)from Parts Express, you may surprised.

I can get my Mac MR71 to dial in a couple of stations to "8/9" strength

I have 2 Mac tuners, an MR85 and MR88 and use Magnum Dynalab ST2 antennas on both.  My house is in a valley and I have no problems picking up the Boston stations that are 50 miles away.
