FM antenna for MR85
 
With all the talk about radios as of late, I convinced myself that I needed to have a tuner in my system. (thanks Dan for all the subliminal mind control about a system not being complete without a nice tuner). Anyhow, I am picking up a McIntosh MR85 next week and a was wondering if there is a recommendation for a indoor/outdoor antenna that I can get from amazon that would optimize FM reception ( I am now a Amazon Prime member so I need to make use of it). Suggestions would be great.

Ed... this is the only antenna you should buy. :ok:

Ed.......I agree with Ivan. The Magnum Dynalab ST-2 is a very good FM antenna. It can be used inside or outside. My ST-2 antenna feeds my MR88. I am very satisfied with its performance.

Ditto.

Thank you Ivan!

And, good move on the tuner. If you have even a couple of good stations that still pay attention to sq, it's worth it in my book.

Agree with the ST2, I use it indoor with excellent results.

If you want the same exact antenna without a MD sticker for less money look up Metz Communication. They're the OEM for that antenna.

Do you all think these Metz and Magnum antennas in the attic are going to be any better than an attic mounted Radio Shack antennae for a Mc TM-2 tuner card? I live in a suburb of Phoenix which is pretty much a flat urban area. Since this is the year of tweaking things, I am more than happy to swap antennas if it will improve FM performance. :music:

Yup, just do it! :yes:
