FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ?

Apparently soniqmike is simply a bigger opinion than any one else is. You know what they say about opinions........

Has2be: Cheap shot you are taking here. I have posted countless comments where I always mention that this whole audio circus is ALWAYS subjective. I am JUST providing information to support my opinion, nothing else. Whatever reason you have to turn left or right is your own and I respect it. Why don't you be a good sport and keep on topic instead of shooting flames? And you are not obligated to participate if you don't want to! Got it this time?

No. I use a FM station update site to check for new local changes and additions every 2-3 months and print it. I listen to FM tuners nearly everyday to add musical variety and local news and entertainment info. A good HD FM station on a good roll is still very enjoyable both at home and on the road. Great reception is a must. I'm located on a flat eastern coastal marsh and use a six foot FM home antenna with shielded RJ-6 cable. It consistantly pulls stations in very clearly.

It was not a cheap shot soniqmike. In your original post your last sentence was "What do you think". Then after people post what they think you critisize peoples intelligence their equipment and accuse them of being not informed because their opinions and reasons differ from yours. You earned it.

Greetings,
I have had an FM tuner in my system for the last 43 years.
When I lived in Denver we had some very good radio stations, that gave me the oppotunity to listen to new music. The Boulder station was very good.
I now live in Anchorage Alaska and we have a decent Jazz and Clasical station.
My dogs, cats and plants like listening to Classical music (FM tuner)on my HT system, when I'm away from the house. Actually keeps them mellow.
Most of the time I use the FM tuner to warm up my system before I do serious listening.
The jazz and classical stations do play new artists/recordings, so that is a plus for me. I also listen to it if I'm doing work, sometimes I like to do work in my main dedicated listening room.
For absolute listening enjoyment I always listen to my Lp's (5000+) or cd's.
Respectfully,
Joe Nies
