Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo

I am fortunate to live in an area where there are still some high quality FM Broadcast stations. I am also fortunate to have been gifted a near-mint, seldom used Luxman T-450 analog tuner (circa 1982.) Listening today to a broadcast of modern music on WDET, I was almost shocked by how fluid and dynamic the sound was. After so much digital streaming, much of it HD Flac, there is nothing like a well dialed in analog broadcast!

Same here.

I live in the Chicago suburbs. We have here WFMT - Classical, and WDCB - Jazz.

Enjoying the reception with a Sony 730ES, Yamaha T-85, and a Sansui TU 710.

Listening to my tuner right now.  I just pulled my Fanfare FT1a out of the closet.  Forgot what a great tuner this is.

MOST people have never heard great FM, I put a dedicated antenna in my attic, just above my MX110z’s renowned tuner, aimed at WBGO’s antenna which I learned here is not with the offices in Newark, NJ, it’s at 4 Times Square, Manhattan, 42nd Street and Broadway.

I’ve got to check the connections for my other antenna which captures OTA Digital TV and FM for my Garage/Shop system’s Yamaha CR-1040 Receiver. Many don’t know, OTA Digital TV is as good as your cable quality, amazing compared to tin foil wrapped rabbit ears.
