...we're in a pretty good location. You probably better than us "Joisey" guys because you have Conncticut if you so choose. It isn't so much the tuner for us as it is the antenna.

Since I'm in the bottom floor of an apartment with no outdoor antennas allowed, I'm screwed for now

I'm using an old Marantz 2270 from 1072 or so in the bedroom with a scuzzy little wire dipole. It beats a table radio.

Prior to my divorce, I had this on a RadioShack $15 turnstile antenna and it was picking up stations from ALL over the area, including the shore and western Jersey. To put it simply, for my location, it kicked butt! I don't need a directional Yagi to be happy.

Since the divorce, I wanted a newer system (with remote control) and I acquired a NAD 1600 tuner/pre and I'm using that blade antenna I suggested Jay try. It's working better for me than anything else I've tried and believe me, I've tried a lot.

If you want the best, you may want to look for a used McIntosh @ audioclassics, which is in Vestal, NY. They are a little steep, but they sound good, work great and last forever.
