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!

@motown-l How is stereo FM better than streaming? Aren’t FM stations nowadays broadcasting digital sources anyway? You’re not claiming they still spin analog vinyl records in the station booth, are you? I’ll bet those are all long gone.

I’m probably closer to the nostalgia of true analog FM from source to sink. I just bypass the broadcast spectrum and play the analog LPs in my own listening room. wink
