I should have mentioned in my earlier post that I use the Magnum Dynalab ST2 antennas (one for each tuner) with my Mac tuners. None of the so called powered antennas (think Terk) did anything but amplify a lot of noise. With the Magnum antennas, everything is crystal clear.
Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore?
I’m not referring to streaming, I mean an actual FM turner. I haven’t had a turner for at least 15, probably more like 20 years. I had a high-end one that went bad years ago and even then I hadn’t really used it in years. Just wondering if anyone still uses one and why?
Added info: back in my college days there were lots of reasons, some great DJ’s in the New York City area and sometimes a live concert broadcasts that were great, but those times are long gone, as is most of my hair and my 32 inch waistline.....I’m not trying to judge anyone for still listening to music on a FM tuner, just asking for the reason to do so.
Hope everyone had a good holiday season.

@pwerahera Go Nuggs!! |
This past year I started listening to FM while I work. I have a Sansui TU-7700 that I bought new 45+ years ago. It been in storage for 30+ years. Hooked it up, and it still worked like it did when new. Use a Magnum Dynalab Ribbon Antenna. |
I have a Sony STJ75 That rarely gets used; Commercialized broadcast FM radio no longer cares about the listener's tastes. I grew up in Saint Louis and as a child of Rock n Roll, KSHE95 was a pioneer of AOR since 1967 . They still survive but are a shell of themselves, playing a narrow band of music that doesn't play the original artist's original efforts but what fits in a 60 minute format. And the audio is atrocious. And the COMMERCIALS. Streaming is SO much better to finding music to your taste. And the audio is better. And BTW -- for AOR fans out there -- try theroots.fm for a station that relies on user's subscription and plays music how the artists intended. And it's better than decent audio.
