The best sounding tuner is my Van Alstine Omega II FM tuner connected to a Fanfare FM-2 antenna mounted indoors. It replaced a modded Sansui TU 717, which was no slouch. There are 3 great independent stations near my weekend house Upstate NY. WKZE (Redhook), WDST (Woodstock), and WMHT (Albany). My wife and I primarily listen to FM when we are there. On WDST, "The Heavy Light Show" with Ida Hakala is one of our favorites.
