Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo

I am fortunate to live in an area where there are still some high quality FM Broadcast stations. I am also fortunate to have been gifted a near-mint, seldom used Luxman T-450 analog tuner (circa 1982.) Listening today to a broadcast of modern music on WDET, I was almost shocked by how fluid and dynamic the sound was. After so much digital streaming, much of it HD Flac, there is nothing like a well dialed in analog broadcast!

I went to college in the late 70s (University of Chicago). We basicly had 2 choices then, LPs or FM. (One kid had reel to reel, and cassete tapes were just happening).

I lived in a dorm that was a converted hotel overlooking lake Michigan (The Shoreland).  The hotel had been converted to apartments decades earlier so most dorm rooms had a living room. Pretty much every one of them had an FM antenna taped to the wall above the stereo system.

BTW, almost every living area had a stereo system, almost none of them had a TV. I don’t remember a single one.
