Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo

Streaming, with its customization and convenience is great but, the beauty of listening to a GOOD FM tuner is that you can just turn it on-no relying on an internet signal.

My 1967 Macintosh MR 71 will only be replaced if I get my hands on a Marantz 10B or the elusive REL Precedent.

Tube FM is still relevant!

Once your favorite Internet station goes to a decent bit rate it’s a lot more reliable than the analog FM signal which even with the best tuner and antenna can be kayoed by weather and interference from other sources in a large urban area.  And one can’t beat the range of Internet radio.  I am currently listening to Radio Venice, which no FM Tuner in Chicago is going to pull in

My favorite FM station also has a 256 kbps WAV stream that sounds awful. Whereas their OTA FM broadcast quality is first rate. I too listen to international streaming stations from Europe, the UK and Africa. That doesn't minimize my enjoyment of local OTA FM broadcasts.
