On both your comments. I sold the Koss back then, might be hard to find now. Second best was the Bose (honestly! They actually made some good stuff once in a while). I miss WNEW, especially The Nightbird, her segue's were amazing. Vin Scully was another one. Wish I had kept tapes of some of the shows.

While I cannot compare to the others mentioned, I own a ITT Schaub-Lorenz Touring International 103, and the sound is outstanding. It is a portable radio, but still worth a look. For a comprehensive review by (radio expert) Jay Allen, follow this link:

You're thinking of Vince Scelsa of "Me and Razoo Kelly" fame, @deadhead1000. |
Most people, my older generation and certainly younger, have rarely if ever heard how good over the air fm radio can sound. Sound quality is relative to signal strength. do yourself a favor, get a real fm antenna, give your equipment choice the help it needs to do a great job. FM is between TV channel 6 and 7, so TV antennas can give very good FM signal. I have a dedicated TV antenna in the attic, above my music system. Aimed directly at WBGO’s antenna (a member here pointed out, not in Newark, where the station studio is, antenna is near Columbus Circle, NYC. Not a table radio, but my McIntosh mx110z Tube Tuner/Preamp is awesome, ONLY IF given a strong signal. It goes thru my main music system’s speakers unlike a stand alone radio. |
