All the Parsecs, Radio Shack, Terks (FM Pro was the best of that breed) are pretty much corruptive of the signal (amplifier noise and signal). Here are my suggestions in order of effectiveness: dipole, BIC Beam Box Model 8 or 10 (passive antenna with variable freq and bandwidth selector, Magnum Dynalab ST-2 or Fanfare SM-2G (both work identical for me, great for local stations (10-40 miles) where multipath (signal bouncing off objects, hence multipath) problems exist, and finally http://www.antennaperformance.com/ outside antenna. BUT all MASSIVELY benefit from the Magnum Dynalab Signal Slueth. You will not be disappointed if you get the Slueth (models 105 or 205 work great, have both). I am a FM addict and have spent years working on this. You can the difference between a soda straw vs a fire house as a conduit when you move antenna outside with a Signal Slueth! And you decide what you listen to not Corporate Cable America.
