A few weeks ago I posted an inquiry asking about whether I could
expect an FM tuner to help me get around the problems of trying to receive
decent FM, even though I live next to the Colorado front range, and reception
is horrible. I wish to thank the 10-15 people who responded. Basically,
I got two useful pieces of info:
- A number of people told me to make sure that I was getting the best
signal into my present tuner before spending lots of money on a new
tuner. TV antennas and signal boosters came up often. I will
certainly try this first.
- Many people recommended the Carver TX-11 tuner, making such strong
claims that I began to wonder if they were going to try to sell me
one... :-) But seriously, that is the only name that came up, and
I got at least 5 recommendations. It seems pretty clear that if one
does decide to buy a tuner, the Carver is the way to go.
Again, thanks for your replies.
