- I got two replies both stating the General Electric Super Radio II is the
- best radio/tuner/receiver for AM reception. It costs about $40, and it
- can be purchased from Best.
-
- Unfortunately, the II has been superceded by the III, which is said to
- have worse AM reception.
-
- Anyway, I went to a high-end audio retail store, and they told me
- Nakamichi makes the best receivers. The Receiver I and Receiver 2 by
- Nakamichi are the two they recommend. They cost several hundred dollars.
-
- I may end up buying a Nakamichi since my stereo receiver is 20 years old.
-
- Anyway, those of you who only listen to FM music stations are missing out.
- The AM stations where I live include:
-
- the audio of CNN cable news
- Dr. Gabe Mirkin's daily medical talk program
- weekly program on gardening, and house maintenance
- programs by CPAs and financial advisors on investing
- etc.
