I heartily recommend the Carver TX-11 FM tuner like the one that I've been using since I bought it new in the early 1980s. It has worked flawlessly all these years. I play it a few times each week. The fidelity is amazing (this is station-dependent of course). Philadelphia is about 45 miles away and I use an old Radio Shack FM antenna in my attic with no booster. I listen to classical and jazz and the audio is very hi fidelity especially with some of the Philadelphia Orchestra presentations on Sunday afternoons.
I'm sure one can be found at a reasonable price on Ebay or Audiogon. Mine was around $500 new I believe, expensive at that time.
A caveat - the tuner has a Carver-designed, switchable noise reduction circuit built in. I don't use it because it degrades the audio quality and the stereo imaging. It would probably work fine for speech. Also, it is FM only, no other bands.
Happy hunting! Fred
