dodger Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Pioneer TX-900. Dr. Dave aligned it and gave it a good going over. Great Unit. Rochester has, in my opinion, some of the worst stations. Unless you like elevator music. One of the stations (my wife wakes up to, -I turn while she's in the shower - they yap about their kids, what they did last night, stupid contests "you're the 10th caller you're eligible to join the other 3,000 to have your named picked." What happened to call and win? The oldies station let a walking encyclopedia of information about oldies go. They have about a 30 song playlist. I catch out of town. Or play cassettes in my 20 year old truck -looks almost new. dodger Quote
Erukian Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I can't stand the quality of the FM tuner anymore, it just doesnt sound dyanmic to me like a real CD. It used to sound great, until i upgraded to a high end computer sound card and started using web internet radio sterams. Which there are literally millions of. Good stuff. Quote
dodger Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I figured what my ideal station would be. WKRP in Rochester(transplanted from Ohio) Venus at night, Dr. Johnny Fever -I've wished for a station like that... Quote
23T Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I listen a lot to FM on my Fanfare FT1A. I use a Fanfare 5 element yagi antenna to lock in on the stations. The FT1A sounds great all the time with my Heresy IIs but especially on live NPR broadcasts. To my ears it's as good as CD. I paid $100 extra to get the Kimber silver internal wiring when I ordered the FT1A a couple years ago. I lot of money for a tuner but I really use it. Quote
dr-dezibel Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I had a Quad FM4 and gave it away as I bought my Denon AVR. What a shame!! The Quad was one of the best sounding fm tuner. A joy to listen to quality music program. Listening to radio stations with my Denon is no comparision to the Quad sound. Quote
colterphoto1 Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Well, we've got the original Bob and Tom yuk-yuk radio right here in Indy- Hate it. I don't think I've even had an antenae hooked up for a decade, but now that I'm getting back into classical and jazz, might do so, just for NPR. It's about the only thing worth listening to. We had a great small town station nearby that I swore stole my teenage record collection and played old 'b' sides at night, but that got changed to 80's teenybop station where the DJ's play until post time (when the song lyrics start) Hate it!
