tuners, the red headed stepchild?


Why don't tuners get more respect? Talk about a passive component, just turn them on and walk away. They're the easiest way to get hours of uninterrupted music, yet compared to other sources, they are an afterthought.

Whoever says NYC has bad radio either doesn't live here or doesn't listen to the many, many, worthwhile stations and programs.
Every metro are has its NPR at least one classical station. Take away those and all the talk talk stations, and what's left? Limited playlist hip hop, classic rock, and pop? Does NY have eclectic oldies with R&B, wide range classic rock, regularly playing Chicago or Delta Blues or Jazz? Hmmm?
Good used tuners can be had for less than the price of many power cords, interconnects, etc..
Theduke has it "DIALED" in.
There is plenty of great radio in the NYC area.

Unsound - your right! Tuners can be had for cheap and sound better than snake oil cords.
