Do you live in an urban area with many strong signals? Or, perhaps a rural area where you'll need a highly sensitive tuner?
Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions
OK, so I kinda miss being able to just tune in my local over the air classical music station and let it run all day long... So...
I'm looking for suggestions for a good new over the air tuner, with remote. I don't want nor need to go super expensive, so let's keep it at under $500, and preferably more like 300 or less but I'm willing to consider. This is not for a super-critical application, just background music mainly when I want to set and forget and go about my day.
I know there are loads of vintage tuners out there too... but I'm trying to keep it simple. Perhaps if there's a decent vintage with remote for not too much money, ok... but I'm leaning towards new, based on my recent success with new stuff. It'll be hooked into my Marantz Ruby amp via RCA in.
Sangean? Rotel? Rolls? DST? Teac, perhaps...?

I’m in an urban area, currently Pasadena, CA. KUSC over the air would be nice. Might be moving to Tucson, AZ area within a couple years, so still relatively urban/suburban and I imagine Univ of AZ has a decent classical station... I think I'm leaning towards newer or even new instead of vintage, and I think the HD option is nice but not crucial. I understand there are a lot of internet options out there and could just use my new Bluesound node for that, but I'm just looking for the simple idea of an over the air fm tuner that does the job casually and easily and with it's own rca input on amp to easily select it rather than needing to mess with anything else other than power on, input select (ease of use for other non-audiophile folks in the household too). |
