I am just as surprised as you are,as I have absolutely no way of understanding this phenomenon.I made comparisons between a Godar,a cheap t antenna,an amplified tv antenna,and the antenna that brings out the best in my tuners-an Audioprism 7500.Connecting each antenna in turn yields completely different sonic results.Bear in mind that I am a classical musician.
The Godar was the one antenna that is annoying,with the amplified tv antenna a close second.A well placed t antenna,can sound more than decent,and switching to the 7500 demonstrates the sonic benefits of a good antenna.BTW,when I had a 10B the 7500 was the only antenna that unleashed its sonic potential.
Remain sceptical if you want-I am still highly puzzled by this,and am sure that the strength of the signal has little or nothing to do with the results,as witnessed by the tuning meters and multipath indicators on various tuners.

I've to concur with you after I expreince the power of the Audio Prism 7500. A decent Revox tuner with the 7500 can rival a lot of high-end megabucks digital, musicality always win hands down. Tuner simply sound more analogue than CD....I wonder if any kind soul have experience with the APS internal FM antenna - Attic InTenna
I think you're hearing things that do not exist. Unless your antenna is having beneficial or detrimental affects on multipath and if your signal strength is sufficient, the antenna will not directly affect the audio quality. The antenna is not in the 'audio path'... it simply brings RF into the tuner's front-end.
You are fully entitled to your opinion/opinions.Obviously,if you had heard what I hear here,you might start thinking-empirically rather than sticking to your well-formed theories.
As for multipath,as registered on the multipath indicator of my T-101-there does not seem to be much difference between the various antennas.It wasn't that long ago that it was common knowledge that interconnects,speaker cable and electrical cables do not make any difference in the sound.
In any case,you could try connecting various antennae to one of your tuners,and see what happens.Then ,in the safety of your home you could ponder the results,without having to prove something to someone,other than yourself.
As for sticking names-You two will outgrow it one day,I am sure.
