Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing?


Wondering if folks would do the favor of checking in with their general location and tell whether or not the FM stations in their area make it worth investing in a truly fine tuner. Seems most market suffer from "compression-depression" these days.

Atlanta... one good Jazz and one good classical station. The Pop, Rock, Country, 80s, Oldies and Rap stations provide a clean and powerful signal but they are definitely compressed. There is also an Alternative station that plays stuff that sounds like intergalactic space noise mixed with test tones late at night, some of the most bizarre things I have ever heard. If I still lived half way between Philly and NYC I would absolutely have a tuner. I am currently contemplating one anyway, perhaps a used Accuphase T-101.
The college radio station near my home kicks out a lot of 'alternative' music and I listen all the time for the constant refreshing and new songs they play. The sound quality is quite a bit better than the commercial stations and with my little Rotel tuner sounds amazingly good. I would not be without it, it is my first choice when listening to music and I plan on getting a better tuner someday. When I borrowed my riends Fanfare tuner the sound quality got much better so they are putting out a good signal.
Upstate New York Albany area, the only thing I listen to is a public radio station that plays classical- worth investing in a tuner?? that's a tough call, I listen all day at work with a grin but prefer higher fidelity during the evenings.
