Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?

I never used to but a couple years ago I picked up a nice denon tuner someone was throwing away, and it actually worked  like a charm.

I find turning it on on weekend mornings while im doing stuff around the house is really pleasant, don’t have to look at my phone or a screen, its just become a nice habit. I also live in Brooklyn so have great local stations, wbgo, wqxr …

I have a much nicer streamer I could use to hear the same programs but for whatever reason I keep finding myself flicking on the tuner in the morning instead, guess it just seems easier and I don’t mind it staying on for hours at a time. 

Yep. Fire up the FM tuner in the early a.m while warming up the rest of the system. 

While warming streamer, dac, preamp, amplifiers playing some local FM music.  

In my car I listen to KNKX (Jazz Blues and NPR News) and at home stream Jazz 24 in the kitchen and dining room.

I love radio, although I often listen while doing something else like driving, working on a project in my shop, or other chores.  We have many good options here in  SoCal with two classical stations, one jazz, NPR, and Pacifica on standard FM.   I also enjoy a couple of HD digital channels (with no commercials) playing pop oldies and be-bop jazz.

For some reason the old tube tuners sound great, even on AM.  I have a mono system in my garage shop with a Fisher Series Eighty tuner/preamp and homebrew 6B4 SE amp driving a single Klipsch Heresy. Sounds lovely.

I’ve been streaming 90.3 KEXP Seattle for years. Good quality sound as well (for streaming). Mostly “alternative” but they have a variety of other music programming too.
