Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?

@jimcrane

Does streaming count?

Sure, radio is radio. I think of local college stations or ones that live-stream local concerts.

I ran my tuner through my CDR (set to standby). Then when something came on that I liked, could just press "record". Then could listen later or use it to find the real recording if possible.

I think tuners can offer a different listening experience. Analog sound and as

@baylinor said, some stations are hi-res and sound really good.

I first had a Fanfare. Later got a Marantz ST6000 before their quality went way down. Day Sequerra, Magnum Dynalab, and McIntosh also really nice. McIntosh has some of the best looking tuners IMHO.

Live broadcast from the met is one the best quality sounding sources, on par with the very best vinyl and dac solutions.

@simchowitz +1

@devinplombier getting a decent antennae is important. I have a Fanfare FM-2G

omni and a Winegard directional can aim at weak distant stations. The Marantz has dual antennae inputs. Also has wide and narrow signal selection.

Just great to hear a human voice and the most complex algorithm, the DJs brain taking us in directions we didn't know we wanted..."All the worlds a stage"

@guscreek  well said.
