Radio Days..............and you?


Not the Woody Allen film, but my start in my music addiction was with radio. I started with a good AM radio my parents gave me for Christmas. Spent days listening to a local rock station and nights listening to WLS and KAAY. After these years with some very good high end audio systems I still find radio a valued source. Currently I am mainly Jazz and Classical on a couple of college/public radio stations with a Nakamichi TM-1and TM-2.

Do you still use radio as a frequent source? If so, what are you using for a radio, tuner, receiver...etc.?

I should also meniton, I do have a decent stereo system with a Magnum Dynalab tuner...but find myself listening to the Nak set more....part of OFS....Old Fart Syndrom.

Hi whatjd,

My tuner and turntable are still my main sources, and I too listen mostly to public radio jazz. So, KUVO in Denver.

My tuner is a 1964 McIntosh MR 71, but tucked away is my later date Sansui TU 717. For me, these are two of the most aesthetically pleasing models, thus reenforcing that old fart syndrome.

Radio is now pretty much only in the car and from the bedside alarm clock by the bed.
Edcyn,

I could not agree more, as that’s where it’s at today for the technology. But, I have to say, I really don’t like my car radio or use an alarm clock.

My pickup has a radio, it has door speakers and l n r panel speakers.
only the panel ones work, at my left shoulder and passenger right shoulder.

 Only these work 90% of the time.
it sounds like a 2” speaker, weak, no bass, just terrible.
whoch is why I love comin home to my stereo 

 gmc 2008 vehicles were a very poor year.

our Acadia dropped the trans exactly 186 miles after warranty expired.

bought a Korean Hyundai’s 
 All bells n whistles, great vehicle, 4wheel drive, heated everything, reliable, great warranty.
  Will may be buy another.  USA warranties and the dealers are a total rip off and scam you when possible.
hundaiys is a nice Infinity system w satellite radio, amazing sound from a cd.

 Pickup is standard ac delco tripe.

 
I listen to a Magnum Dynalabs Etude all day while I'm at work.  News in the morning and afternoon, jazz during the day.  NPR
