FM reception is like real estate: “location, location, location “.
Different tuner specs that have different advantages / disadvantages performance will vary with location. As will different antennas. With that said, I’ve had pretty good performance from Magnum Dynalabs unassuming in appearance and less expensive indoor “Silver Ribbon “ in different locations. Better than with their and others similar more expensive whip style antennas and any of the indoor amplified novelty shaped offerings. Heck, even the cheapest rabbit ear tv antennas worked better in my experience. Being able to pick up the antenna and easily move it even a tiny amount can make huge differences between capturing different stations. BTW, the connecting cable between antenna and tuner might be significant. IME, good coax tends to work better than twin lead. It might require small, inexpensive modifications (perhaps with a balun transformer) to maximize performance, but it could be well worth it. YMMV!
