I agree the Squeezebox is kinda hifi - it's good, but not involving enough for me. I think it's a resolution thing, but it's very hard to analyse, I find. The SB+ has cured it though! But FM can offer the most amazing sound too. I have a Rotel 990BX, and UK Radio 3 when it does live classical music can be simply beautiful - we have the Proms season starting soon and I can't go this year (newborns - no live music for a year!), so the tuner will be used every night :) So I'm with Ron - selling a good FM tuner is a no-no!
