Hi, jcmusic:To me, at least, switching to monaural will (1) eliminate all multipath distortion, (2) greatly increase the signal to noise ratio in favor of a much quieter presentation, particularly if you are trying to pull in a very weak and distant signal in the first place and (3) allow you to move around in your environment and not have to be situated right in the middle of your speakers all the time for optimum effect.
That is, unless you like to listen over headphones, where only the signal to noise issue might be paramount in importance. I mean, who likes to listen to a noisy signal?
Therefore, you would be an ideal candidate for my fully restored, recently aligned REL Precedent FM monaural tuner!
Got big bucks?

Marantzguy, I just finished cleaning up my Scott LT 110-B. Also just installed rooftop antenna, man the signals have doubled. I am really going to be into FM again.
Hi, jcmusic!Nice going!
Catch those vintage sounds!
Marantzguy,
I just realized you are in Berkeley, one of my best friends has a automotive repair shop there. I think on University St. I think they only work on high end cars.
Hi, jcmusic!Do you have the name of that specialty auto shop (or is it "shoppe")?
I still have my white 1986 Toyota SR-5, which is the same body type featured in Jananese anime's huge "hit", "Initial D". It's called an "AE-86" overseas. Every so often, kids ask if it is for sale or sometimes people put pieces of paper under the wipers asking about its availability. I find this intriguing, since I am an original owner and still love the thing! Until about two years ago, I had no idea that the car was some sort of an 'icon' among teenage fans of anime, or "Initial D". So far, while taking the SR-5 out for a s pin, they have not called me "driftin' Ricky" !!
:-)
The SR-5 still fires up and drives well for something with 178K on an original motor. I use the SR-5 to pick up larger stuff at local flea markets or to take large electronics to Urban Ore for recycling.
Did that the other week with a load of useless stuff like Scott 4310's and a few Fisher FM-1000s.The other vehicle is a 2002 Ford Focus ZX-5.
I use the latter going to and from recording assignments on location.
The Toyota and Focus are not exactly what I would call "high end" nor does my wallet have a "deep bottom" to it!
But, it would be neat to know what that auto repair place is along University Avenue. I'm afraid that they would just laugh if I drove up!
Cheers!
