Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing?

Hey, Seattle has KEXP. This publicly-supported station is worth getting a tuner for all by itself. See www.kexp.org
It's nice to see a station with such a broad range of non-commercial music that posts its playlists on the web so if you hear something good you can look it up. I've found all kinds of great new music this way.

Berkeley, CA and there are some great stations here like the college station (90.7 KALX), jazz station (91.1 KCSM) or classical (102.1 KDFC). I have a Marantz 2110 tuner (which I love) but I had the luxury of having a Magnum Dynalab MD108 here for a night and it made my jaw drop. Absolutely amazing. If I win the lottery it's definately on the top of my list. And the college station still spins vinyl. What more do you need?

Orlando has absolutely nothing worth listening to. The difference between Orlando and yogurt is that yogurt has an active culture. The good news is that I'm moving to the Boston area in a few months.

I live near Kalamazoo, MI. We do have a few Classical stations, a College station that plays NPR, the rest, as far as know, are your typical music we all have, yes, compressed. One station that I like, they play Easy Listening music, plays Smooth Jazz after 8 pm every night and all day Sunday until 6 pm.

I purchased a Fanfare FT-1A in 2000; I hadn't used a tuner in a decade or so. I never regretted that purchase as I found I used my system much more and enjoy using a tuner a lot more than I expected.

Early last year I sold the Fanfare and purchased a Yamaha T2 and feel this has been one of my better purchases. I believe the Yamaha outperforms the Fanfare and I don't have nearly as much invested into it.

I enjoy using a tuner a lot.

I live in the Washington DC/Baltimore area and I'll just add to Sarah's good list.... WGMS (commercial classical); and WJHU and WBJC, the two public stations in Baltimore.
I agree the rock stations suck, but the Jazz, Classical and lots of PBS/NPR stations in the area make it worth having a good tuner.

I have a modified Kenwood KT-8300 and a stock Kenwood KT-6500 at home; and an Onkyo Integra T-4087 in my office.
