In your experience which type/model of antenna has provided you with the best FM reception? I have tried regular dipole, amplified and non amplified antennas and the dipole seems to work best (although still not that well). I'm just looking for something else to try that actually works.

I live in a fiarly urban area, and am not far <25 miles from most station transmitters so I should be able to get high quality FM broadcasts (I would think anyhow).

I'm more than satisfied with a cheapo omnidirectional turnstile, similar to the FMSS pictured below, on a 10' pole outside the house.
