FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them?
Attic installation would get me up a little higher, keep the cable run a few feet shorter, protect the antenna from weather and tree damage.............AND I wouldn't have to worry about falling off the roof!!I'll have to take a tape up there and ... 
FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them?
Interesting.................I've visited FmtunerInfo a few times and saw the link to Carver, but haven't checked it out yet............sounds worth while. Bob Carver was a pretty smart audio guy years ago, so his insight on antennas is certainly w... 
Sound stage height??
slawGetting into the hobby far deeper than ever, now that I'm retired and have time for it. The results thus far have been impressive for me. When I finally did a fairly good room treatment, for instance , the results amazed me, as did a complete ...

Thanks tangramca.................wow, 6'5"................I thought MINE were low!!........Hope you're not a basketball player :)..............I think I'll give Vandersteen a call next week, describe my room layout and ask them their opinion. Migh...

Are subs worth the price for music?
Mr. SchroederUh, yeah, my speakers, my whole kit is well under a hundred K, maybe a third of that...........I'm a champagne taste, beer budget guy...............My friends would call my system extravagantly expensive, crazy even, but they're not a...

Thanks Chris, but I'm a thousand miles north, Western Maryland.....Probably not worth the trip, but I'll stop by next time I'm in the neighborhood :) 
Are subs worth the price for music?
Interesting arguments for subs folks. I'm going to put at least one, possibly two on my short list. I'm guessing that the Vandy subs might work the best with my 3A's, but as has been pointed out, there are others that seem to work very well also. ... 
FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them?
af3000Yes, there are hundreds and no I did not have the time to view all of them. However the vast majority of the ones I saw were indoor, omni or combination TV antennas. A small handful of basic, small yagi's for FM was about it. What I'm primar... 
FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them?
Thanks again mental........I do know that you have to properly ground any outdoor antenna............lightning can be unpleasant :) I did stop using surge protectors on my gear a while back. Read too many bad things about them. If there's a storm,... 
FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them?
Thanks mental, just checked them out.........I think ultimately what I'll end up doing is picking up a good omni along with a good directional yagi since this tuner has two ant inputs. there may be some stations that work better with one than the ... 
Sound stage height??
Ordered Jim Smiths book, it's on the way. In the meantime I adjusted the tilt a few degrees on the Vandy's...........that did lift the sound stage somewhat, perhaps more is needed. When I have some time to play I'll see what I can do to fine tune ... 
FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them?
Thanks folks......I KNEW you guys would have answers!!.....I did find Denny's last night, sent him query and he responded this morning. He does offer what looks to be a nice, FM only antenna, HD2500 and his site has plenty of good info. I'll check...
