Greetings All,
I've got a wonderful NAD 412 tuner that I love. For a variety of reasons which are irrelevant I have never had it in my main system, I used it for background music. For another variety of reason that are also irrelevant I now have it in my main system and am becoming very annoyed with the ugly rabbit ear antenna I use.
Can anyone recommend a good antenna that isn't such an eyesore! I know it is hard to get around physics when considering antennas but perhaps there is a clever design out there that has enough clean gain to reduce the size etc...
The NAD 412 uses a coax input and I believe that is it. Typical of NAD it punches above its weight but is not truly high fi so absurdly expensive antennas would probably be wasted. I don't think directional antennas would do much good although I don't know much about them. I suspect the transmission locations are too spread out where I live to get much use out of a directional antenna.
Thanks for your time.
Nate
