With Internet radio, (streaming) do AM\FM tuners serve any purpose in HEA?


Probably a dead topic, but I got a used AM\FM tuner recently in like new condition for a great price. Just wondered if any of you out there think tuners like this are still useful. Or not....

I bought a near mint condition Rotel RT-1080 for a bargain price. Right out of it's factory shipping carton it looks and works like new. Thinking about getting a decent powered FM antenna for it and see what happens. This unit doesn't have HD or XM radio. Can't complain though, as I got it so cheap.
I am very fortunate to have several high quality FM stations in my area. I have a late 70's, fully analog tuner (not digitally synthesized) that sounds so much better than when I stream the same stations through my component network streamer. I do appreciate the fact that my streaming device can get music from all corners of the globe, but for sound quality, nothing beats a good, uncompressed FM broadcast.
