Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: Horrors! Worse reception! Need Indoor FM Antenna

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I am on 15th floor in a 90's high rise with metal windows. Even when I come off the West Side Highway on 95th Street I get only weak FM reception for WFUV 90.7 on my car radio. At home, with CC Crane dipole, WQXR 105.9 comes in strong and clear, as do many other stations. So I suspect there is something about how WFUV broadcasts or where it is located (the Bronx, not that far away), even though they built a giant new broadcast antenna a few years ago.

Cannot put antenna outside window and there is no roof antenna. I dread the thought, but may have pick up the streaming signal from this station and run it through my DAC. Better than distortion, I guess. Will break my heart to say good-bye to my vintage Sansui TU-9900.

Price of living in NYC.
