RE: There is more to it than "nearly pegging the [signal strength] meter"

Ok....I am completely wrong. I do not hear what I clearly hear because I dont have the Timbo approved antenna.

And my signal amplifier (Signal Sleuth) is introducing noise I can't hear because Tim says it is there from what 7000 miles away?

Of course there is more to it than pegging the needle....the more to it is what I hear.

I have, over 40 or so years, tried every type of FM antenna known to man.

I have never, ever, gotten better SOUND FROM TUNERS IN MY SYSTEM, than I do with the whip antenna and Signal Sleuth.

I am sure the Audio Critic piece is interesting because I have read it before. It is in the same issue of the publication that tells me McIntosh gear sounds the way High End Audio should sound.

Folks, each FM reception environment is different. While I have no doubt that Tim is spot on in theory, he does not, has never, probably won't hear my system, so his speculation is just that.

And I appreciate his time and yours, trying to convince me my ears have failed and I dont hear what I clearly hear.
