Wish I still had my Pioneer SG90 EQ.

That was a great tuner sir Q! Sansui made some wonderful and gorgeous tuners, Pioneer made some of the most beautiful with the best toggles, big rotary metal knobs, meters, Onkyo made some great ones, even Mitsubishi made some world class tuners.
Sony has a $99 HD FM tuner which is supposed to be world class. I have to try one of those out sooner or later.
However, I still have to praise the sound quality of a great mono FM tuner. The sound is so rich and pure ... so mono.

Yes, it was a Kenwood KT815. I had a directional antenna with a rotator... man I used to have a blast listening to FM from all over the place. I wouldn't be surprised if I listened to Jack on the air in Connecticut at some point...

I mean, who listens to FM anymore? I stumbled on our local college jazz station (I think 88.9 or 89.3) out of Long Beach and its signal is strong and clear and their choice of music is often terrific. While cooking or sitting around with friends, I turn on my tube amp and tube tuner already selected to my favorite jazz station, and the warm, rich (mono) tunes fill my large kitchen den area.
FM ! that's been my music source of choice for downstairs music. I used to listen to FM in New York City in the 70s on our Harman Kardon tube amp/tuner or The Fisher 800c tube receiver, but haven't listened to FM music since, until now.
And now I've regressed from FM tube stereo to FM tube mono, and am loving it.
Cheers.

I used to love what some stations played at 3AM. Now, since the ClearChannel takeovers, radio mostly sucks. There are very few stations I can tolerate, and all of those are independent stations.

Most of FM is crap. You have to find the gems lodged in the cracks between the stations.

Listen to FM all the time, either over-the-air or internet streaming. It's great if you pick the right stations, such as these .

I listen to NPR on the car radio. That's it for me.

When driving I listen to a local community radio station that plays NPR during the day and Jazz at night.
