Have you noticed how many vintage tuners, and especially, receivers there are for sale? Most people don’t have a use for the tuner section. I have a beautiful Sansui TU-717 that I hardly ever use. :-(
Lost Last Classix Rock Station
I put up a 10dB FM antenna that cost $600 and bought a $200 FM tuner. Only one station played classic rock with in 50 miles and shared with the terrible New Age format.. To me New Age all sounds the same and some talk vs sing- just junk. Now, this only station with in 60 miles radius converted to all New Age music. I can not believe the many stations here within 60 miles does not play Classic Rock but there is about 10 New Age stations. I bought a Ocean Wi-Fi internet receiver, The $800 was a total waste of money!

Just this past weekend I acquired a Magnum Dynalab ST 2 antenna and have been having a blast with it. Since January I have bought 3 tuners (very reasonably) a Dynaco FM 5, Mission Cyrus (first one) and a Sansui TU 3900. Wow, what an improvement with the external antenna! Luckily, Toronto has CJRT (fantastic Jazz), two quality classical stations and a couple classic rock stations worth listening to. Having fun re-discovering FM, for as long as the novelty lasts… |
No antenna involved, but this older guy who grew up on WPLJ and WNEW in NY in the old days enjoys streaming WXPN from Philadelphia. They play a good mix of newer and older rock. I have learned of some recent artists there that are in my playlists now. Their late afternoon show weekdays is my favorite with a 1 hr. segment "Highs in the 70s" that is very good. |
@61falcon - nothing new about 'new age' - that's the kind of relatively easy-listening music with good musicianship with labels like Windam Hill and their artists like George Winston. It's been called that since at least the 1970's. Some people really like this, some people liken it to 'elevator music' or background music for dinner parties. |
