Who's listening to FM Tonight? What tuner?

Sansui 3000a...tuner is impressive

Even though it's a receiver, I'm amazed at how well the Sansui 3000a brings in stations. I live in Dexter, just west of Ann Arbor and pick up East Lansing, Jackson, Flint and Toledo FM staions clear as a bell with only a 3' wire attached to it. Got 94.9 East Lansing playing now.

The tuner is pretty much central to a good receiver the way I see it. Sony seems to get it right from what I've heard. Sounds like you are in a good reception area. Try a rooftop antenna and see what happens!

Like this?

Sorry for the off topic post but this will bring it back on topic.

I do hope you know that I was just ribbing you a little!
Did you get the belt you were waiting for?

I knew but I'm a grumpy old fart!
Yes got the belt and now I think i need to reset the geomerty again as I hadn't used the TT for 7 years. Still sounds great.

Oh and I love WFMT. Stream it often. I used to listen all the time when I lived in Chicago, Ray and Norm on the Midnight Special, Claudia Cassidy and William Russo on Critics Corner, and Studs at 10 AM weekday mornings. I used to buy the program guide at Krocks on Wabash and eat at either The Berghoff or Elfmans.

When they stopped streaming during the tech bust I was a sad panda bear. Happy they are back only wish they had a higher stream rate.

I remember laying in bed with a transistor radio under my pillow and listening to stations from all over on the skip. I won't say they were good days, but they were different.

I'm listening to CBC 1, the Vinyl Tap, on a Marantz 2270 and some Mission 70 speakers, all at floor level. Great comb. Good tunes.

My "new" Sansui AU-999, Tu-777 combo. WXPR. So far, so sweet.

It is pulling in fringe stations at 5 on the 1 to 5 tuning scale. I am impressed.

Echoes on my "new" Sony ST-J75 soon to be tuned and upgraded by Punker X.
WXXI 91.5 Rochester. I love this station. The Sony sounds great it's the best synthesized tuner I have heard. The T-80 is jealous.

Did you get that on the bay recently? I saw that tuner and thought about it. How does it sound?

Listening to Gonzaga Universites 88.7 on a Sony ST-80w great little tuner I love the round tuning dial!

Listening to 98.1 KING-FM doing a live broadcast of Seattle Ballet's Prokofiev on my Onkyo T-9090II.

Listening to 98.1 KING-FM doing a live broadcast of Seattle Ballet's Prokofiev on my Onkyo T-9090II.

Wow, glad to see KING-FM is still a classical station. I see it's transitioning from commercial to listener-supported. Amazing that it lasted so long as a commercial Classical station in today's world.

Still on KZOK 102.5, but back on the Fisher KM-60 tuner. It doesn't match the Marantz very well cosmetically, but they sound great together. They just played Pink Floyd's "Dogs Of War".

Listening to Classical 103.1 out of Cobourg Canada. Thats 100 miles across the lake here. Sounds great on my Sony ST-J75.
