Why even bother?

Hey, gentlemen.

You are missing the point.

I am not against tuners at all. I do enjoy my portative one and one in my car as well.

I am talking about stereophile system that we listening from our "Sweet Spot".

During those times I rather listen to something I prefer and not what on the radio at that time.

I have never herd about anybody listing to MP3's on hi-end system, just because it is compressed and flat and doesn’t have enough data to reproduce a good recording.

So my question was purely in the respect to audiophile point of view.

I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Enjoy the music!!!

Regards!

Guys,

Again, I am not talking about regular listening to the radio at all.
My point is strictly about listening to FM thru hi-end system.
There is no way FM signal can camper to CD or record in the quality of sound.
Even a strong FM signal contains distortions. This are just rules of Physics.
Sum of hi-end tuners cost $2000-$6000. Why bother to pay for them and not to invest in to speakers, CD player or amplifier instead?
This is my point.

Thank you for your responds.

Thank you all for your feedback.
My intensions were not to start controversial thread and I am definitely not against any kind of tuners.
It was interesting to hear different opinions on this subject, even though; some of them were not related to it all.
Lets just enjoy our hobbies to the fullest, because it all about little things that make as happy.
