Can someone recommend an FM antenna that works with old receivers?

The powered models I've owned never really seemed to out-perform a folded dipole or rabbit-ear, including a couple or three Terks. If the passives were noisy, amplifying the signal also amplified the noise. And adding yet another wall-wart... no thanks. Others must have had a better outcome.
 
I found one of these at a flea market for a couple of bucks and sitting in my window it has excellent reception.

See if you find the antenna in the photo. It is a C. Crane antenna. It has a 75 ohm F-connector that would need a balin for a 300 ohm input.

One of the most effective purchases I've made. DSC_7115.JPG
 
Tried all kinds of indoor antenna's, and nothing ever worked anywhere close to the reception of a roof top antenna. And I'm talking about the old, non directional antenna that has been on my roof for decades. Ultimately if using a tuner for FM is important to you there is no adequate substitute. IMO.
