best indoor antenna for FM reception?


Which antenna is better at reducing multipath and signal hiss from FM broadcasts? The Fanfare -2 or the Magnum Dynalab ST-2? I listen to jazz & blues stations from Toronto and the Western New York area

Signal hiss is mainly due to a week signal. You need either a very sensitive tuner (if you don't already have one) and/or an outside antenna, or a amplifier such as is made by Magnum to get rid of the hiss.

To reduce multipath you need a directional antenna, not an omni, which you can point directly at the transmitter. Some omni's, if placed horizontally, will act as a directional antenna.

Were I you I would look into the Godar line of antennas. As always, an outside antenna is best.
