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!

Received Ocean WI-FI..Stations having 320ms sound best. 128mps not so good but 198mps are also good

This log in procedure is ridiculous , what are we doing here , espionage work for the FBI? I enjoy FM classic rock. Here is Sierra Vista AZ up in the sticks we have a 5000 watt station that goes down to 500 watts at night. I have a completely restored McIntosh MR 71 tuner with Mac tubes which sounds terrific. I have a NAXA indoor amplified rabbit ear antenna that works great. It was my 4th attempt at reception. and cost under $20 at Home Depot online. The $50 or so Terk I bought at Cruthfield was useless and I put it on my Wave Bose radio in the Bd. Rm. with not much improvement over the factory antenna that's in the power cord. Down the hill in Tucson there are 2 good classic rock stations and one of them is HD. I'm from Ca. originally and they still have KLOS 95.5 the best ones were KROC 106.7 and KMET 94.7 which sadly went by the wayside. I cannot imagine anywhere that some FM is not available. The commercials are local and not too bad. I have all the internet free stations on my TV and a optical toslink cable to my McIntosh MA7900 int. amp. for music also used for UTube. I have the best XM tuner from 2004 a Kenwood in the house , even found a factory remote for it on eBay also. Denon DCD A-110 SACD player which is tops but that ole' FM tuner still does rock the house.

Am I the only person on the planet that likes 50s & 70s Hard Rock? I went thru about 1000 internet WI-FI stations and not one played it.

As a note 128kps sound bad. 192kps is just ok and 320kps sounds close to  a CD.

Fear not, the answer to your prayers is RadioParadise. Available in FLAC if you have good internet and they have a rock station that’s similar to but better than most AOR FM stations of yore. On any smart speaker say "play radioparadise rock mix", but that’s probably 320kbps via Tunein. For FLAC you need their website https://radioparadise.com/home. Or a music player like JRiver or Roon. When you get bored of Rock, try the main mix. RP introduces quality new music that makes you appreciate art and become a better person. Seriously, I couldn’t live without it. Let us know if you like it.
