There are still AM radio stations? Wow. Thought they had gone the way of newspapers by now.
I've got FM covered. What about AM?
I own Magnum Dynalab’s MD100 Triode FM tuner. That’s great, but I also want to listen to AM broadcasts though my system--that is, I don’t want a tabletop or portable device. Should I find any AM/FM tuner to have access to AM broadcasts or should I use a different approach? I’d appreciate any guidance.

If you do streaming like most these days many am and fm radio stations are available over the internet. I'm listening to a local am station that way as I type. An analog am/fm tuner or any other radio with analog output is always an option, but why deal with antennas, weak signal, and all the other legacy nonsense? Streaming does away with all that. I have a Sangean desktop radio like this that would work with rca Y connector out to any line level input on the hifi. Amazon.com: Sangean WR-16SE AM/FM/Bluetooth/Aux-in/USB Phone Charging 45th Anniversary Special Edition Wooden Cabinet Radio (Dark Walnut with Rose Gold) : Electronics I'm a Sangean fan when it comes to radios these days. I'm sure there are many options there. Cheers and good luck!

@ghdprentice I bet AM would sound the most musical ever with your gear. :-) |

I even almost bought a Nakamichi cassette deck, but got to thinking I would probably never use it. I still may get one just because I love the way they look. I listen to AM all the time in the car. So, I'd like to be able to listen in the house (I'm out of rack space. I cant stack components becuase everything except for my turntable and Reel to reel has tubes that need space to breathe. (As it stands, ive got 50 tubes across all of my components. To spread out the replacement cost, I buy a tube or two every week. ) @viridian Yes, the Mckay Dymeck line is on my radar. @mapman yeah, that tabletop wouldn't visually work for me besides I have no RCA connections except for my phono preamp input. I could just as easily use my streamer. Id really like to find a tube tuner. |
