I have an FT 1A and an FT 1Aii with the usb input which I use at my NJ beach house. Everything above is true. The reception quality rivals CD. I have a full half wave roof antenna and can pickup Princeton FM here in Western Phila area. Fringe reception is excellent and the analogue circuitry gives amazing sound.
Fanfare FT-1A Reference FM Tuner/Monitor
Any comments on the Fanfare FT-1A Reference Analog* FM Tuner/Monitor? If one is using a cable TV connector for FM reception, does it make any sense to spent money for an FM Tuner like this one (in my house, no cable, no FM reception)? This tuner offers both balanced and unbalanced connection options? Any comments on this?
