Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Anyone Listen to FM Radio as a Music Source?

My favorite 2 channel system is an Antique Sound Labs MG S1 15DT 5 wpc SET tube amp. A few months ago, I set up a refurbished, drop dead gorgeous H.H. Scott tube FM tuner.

We're lucky around here and have KJAZ a strong jazz station. I realized that I am listening to this station for my Jazz instead of a CDP.

More than one friend expressed surprise when they realized we were listening to the radio.

Liquid. Beautiful. I guess that's how I would describe the sound from this beautiful Scott FM tuner.

Anyone else?

I have a pretty decent analog tuner but rarely ever use it, Perhaps If i just want some background music and dont want to have to be the DJ like if I am listening from the computer.

I never sit down and just listen to it though.

I haven't taken any pleasure from listening to FM until I fired up a fire bottle tuner.

Liquid Gold.

Sure, 2x6; I have three full-time classical stations available to me over-the-air. One is a bit difficult to receive and I use the excellent FM tuner section of an older two channel receiver, which has adjustable selectivity and an FM noise reduction setting, to make listening more pleasant. The two stronger stations are received with fine quality, even on the tuners typically present in modern HT receivers.

It's a rediscovered joy for me.

You should try a nice tube tuner sometime!
