Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?


.
With the proliferation of all of the great streaming services and great DACS, why would anyone listen to FM radio for music on their main rig at home any more?. I only listen to FM in my car now.

In my view, streaming radio sounds more sterile compared to its sweeter and more musical sounding analogue FM counterpart.

That said, you need to get a nice (probably vintage) FM tuner to hear radio at its best. A lot of the "modern" FM tuners found in most receivers these days are inexpensive thrown-in afterthoughts and don't sound much, if any better than computer streaming radio.

In my area we have some good sounding FM stations of different genres and it's nice to have a good sounding FM tuner around to take advantage of it. I just flip the power switch and I'm up and playing music.
