Does anyone have a recomendation for a quality AM receiver? I have a

**Assuming you have no internet capability (the best way to receive AM),
then your next best option is to find an old, 1960s vintage, solid
state, car radio. Since few car radios had FM capability back then, the
AM qualities were excellent. If you have lots of cash, then one of these
will provide superb AM performance:

Quite a radio!

But as to the car radio, aren't they so good because of the metal body
of the car that surrounds them? A ground plain? Or is that only for
FM. I know for FM every car radio I had worked better than every table
radio except 1, but I didn't have a chance to compare AM

I had one on the bench last year. Surprisingly impressive and quite
sophisticated (even has a synchronised detector!) AM section. A bit much
for a cabin radio though.
