Better results may be had with a good antenna connected to a modest turner than from a poor antenna connected to a very good tuner.
But today we have several considerations. How many FM stations in our reception area program what we are interested in listening to? Are the towers for those stations clustered near one another or spread all around us? Do we live near tall buildings, power lines, hills or mountains, etc.? The height for any FM antenna can be important; do we have options for outside or attic installation?
Yes, a $2 dipole or "T" antenna can work, and may be the best answer to start out. But if there are good signals from stations you enjoy it may be worth doing more research on questions such as suggested above.
