Do you know about the Tuner Information Center? Among other info they evaluate a long list of models. So if you have a short list of candidates that might help narrow things down.
Without knowing what your signal is like from 88.7 remember the antenna can be as important as the tuner. Something I read decades ago, "You'll get better performance from a decent tuner with a great antenna than from a great tuner with a mediocre antenna".
"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing, if you can fake that you've got it made." Groucho
Absolutely m3 love. I have a yagi antenna that I need help to install in the attic. I'm using a Magnum Dynalab antenna now.
My station is broadcast from a mountain 10 miles from me, though it is shielded by trees. The reception is good. The added antenna height will surely help reception. Maybe I'll put it on the roof? I don't need directional as there is only one station that I listen to.
Oh yes, I have purused FM info page for many years. It is a good reference though they are biased toward DXing and don't have any new tuner info. I'm leaning towards a vintage Mac, Kenwood, or Scott...
My goal is to try one or maybe two tuners while my other two are in the shop. And then thin the herd again. I like trying different tuners.
Streaming was a revelation for me, but my FM sounds very good and I would like for it to sound better with a new antenna and an improved tuner.
I would like to find someone who is knowledgeable about upgrading the Sony ST-5000F. I'm not sure if my local tech is the guy for that though he is experienced in repairing home audio gear for many years?
Thanks
Chris
Mike Williams, RadioX tuners in Michigan for your Sony. He is working on my Onkyo tuner and Fisher decoder now. I love the look of the old Sonys!
Perfect. Thank you.
I like the looks also of the Sony ST-5000F. It certainly sounds good.
