It ain’t dead here in Connecticut. There is still some outstanding stations broadcasting!
FM alive and well here...curious question
SoCal listener here.
Last night, the Classical station finished their listeners top 100 with Ludwig B's 9th.
I got sucked in listening to the end of the 4th movement. I can't remember what conductor/orchestra, but fantastic performance.
My Mac 71 with a $20 indoor antennae is able to get a signal strength reading just over "8" with dead center tuning according the meter.
Ludwig B was sounding clear,quite and simply fabulous.
Im aware a "real" roof antennae is the way to go. Wondering if the effort to get a "10" reading on the tuning meter will actually be heard as even better sonics?
Just for kicks, I spun a few minutes of a minty 59' Living Stereo to compare.
WOW! The record naturally wins, but my beloved Mac isn't far off. Considering the broadcast was a CD, it was reasonably convincing. It certainly was just as good as my generic CD deck(no fancy outboard DAC)
My 71 is stock, tuned with NOS glass. I'd love to hand over $ 1K for the RM mod, but ain't gonna happen.
LONG LIVE FM! Hopefully?
