Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing?


Wondering if folks would do the favor of checking in with their general location and tell whether or not the FM stations in their area make it worth investing in a truly fine tuner. Seems most market suffer from "compression-depression" these days.

I live near Kalamazoo, MI. We do have a few Classical stations, a College station that plays NPR, the rest, as far as know, are your typical music we all have, yes, compressed. One station that I like, they play Easy Listening music, plays Smooth Jazz after 8 pm every night and all day Sunday until 6 pm.

I purchased a Fanfare FT-1A in 2000; I hadn't used a tuner in a decade or so. I never regretted that purchase as I found I used my system much more and enjoy using a tuner a lot more than I expected.

Early last year I sold the Fanfare and purchased a Yamaha T2 and feel this has been one of my better purchases. I believe the Yamaha outperforms the Fanfare and I don't have nearly as much invested into it.

I enjoy using a tuner a lot.
