The operative word here is "was". In the early- and mid 60s I had a McIntosh MR65B and a Finco yagi antenna and rotor or a 50 foot mast, in a "hot" if remote FM location. I could pull in WQXR, to my southeast, and stations east and west from Boston to Cleveland. There was a lot of high quality audio on FM in those days.
We just renovated the living/listening room in our NYC apartment and, for months, I have been reinstalling/updating the components and connections. Finally, 2 weeks ago, I got around to installing the antenna connection for the FM/AM tuner which had been disconnected since the spring and I decided to forget about it.
What with the reduction of interesting (to me) FM stations, the decline of their content/quality and the rise of Internet streaming sources, I have not bothered to listen to FM in a year or two. The tuner has been relegated to the closet of lost audio components (to join its predecessor).
But that was long ago when their repertoire was better, too.
