FM reception and your antenna

I have been lucky enough to have several great tuners. From the old days with a Yamaha CT-7000 to several of the best from Magnum Dynalab. That said, your antenna to your tuner/receiver is of great importance.

Most will think of station reception, yes but the impact on sound quality and quantity is beyond reception.

If you like listening to quality FM stations and have not invested in a "real" FM antenna, do so.

I have an FM aerial in my attic (the thing is a monster) hung from the rafters by string, its 12 feet by 6 feet or so and pointed towards NYC. I also have an FM antenna amp (Magnum Signal Sleuth). The few stations I get, sound as good as my tape or vinyl rig.

I also have the Signal Sleuth with their ST-2 antenna mounted outside (106T Tuner) It works very well for me for NYC stations from North-East NJ

Anyone have/know of where I can obtain copy of ADS T2 Tuner user manual? Alternately, can anyone provide details on how to set station presets?

I'm lucky in my Apartment building as the Architects included a good FM antenna on the roof & dedicated FM antenna connection behind my racks. Hence FM reception is rock solid.

I’d love to own an Accuphase T-1100, but my Dealer thinks they will become boat ankers when analogue radio is switched off. Though I see no sign the Australian Govt has any plans to pull the plug in the future. We’ll see what the future holds.

A good roof antenna is the best.
