Video killed the radio star, but commercialism killed radio! Having worked in radio during the golden age of F.M. progressive (70's) it's really a shame that the F.C.C. deregulation allowed a few holding corporations to own most of the licenses in America. Consequently, almost all cities have identical sounding stations since programming is NOT done locally. And the commercials! I've heard stations go 5 minutes at a whack with ads, then return with only 10 minutes off music! Unfortunately, most R & R stations also EQ the crap out of the bass (kinda like a modern version of Phil Spector's "wall of sound") and compress the hell out of the signal! At least in N.Y.C., you have plenty of choices compared to a secondary or tertiary market; however, the best tuner in the world will not correct an artificially corrupted signal (source). Stick to F.M. in your car!
Is there any fun in tuner?
Never actually tried to have a tuner in my setup since there is almost no music that I like on the FM radio in New York. The whole New York air is into hip-hop and some easy-listening stuff. I like heavy fusion jazz, progressive rock, meaning Weather Report, Brand-X, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Marillion, Gentle Giant... What kind of music do you listen in your tuner at home and at what US/Canada state?
Is tuner any good in sound quality if compared to CD-player or TT(imagin everything of the same class of sound reproduction)?
