Need Some Advice About Indoor Antennas

I am currently using a Godar FM-1 antenna with my McIntosh
MR-73 Tuner (which was recently aligned by my local Mac
dealer). And while my tuner does pull in most of the larger
commercial stations very clearly, there are a number of
lower powered stations that it tends to pick up with low
level hiss or a less than clear signal.
Would like to know if any better antennas are out there
for use with my MR-73. I listen to a lot of FM and would
really like to get some of the lower power stations with
less noise. One last thing - I live in a ranch-style town-
house, and our condo association rules do not allow for an
outdoor antenna. So I am looking to find a better INDOOR
antenna. Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

Avideo,

I am having the exact same problem. The only good local classical/jazz station that I can get is a little fuzzy but reads 10/10 on my Magnum tuner. I am currently using the Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna indoors. In your situation I would splurdge for the Magnum Dynalab Signal Sleuth. This will add many db of gain the signal. Save you money and keep the antenna you have and spend it on the Signal Sleuth. I will be doing the same thing next term if my new house has the same reception problems.

Elgordo, that is a very fine idea! The Magnum Dynalab ST-2 would fit very nicely into the tube.
