So I installed the power antenna adapter to my new head unit and not much better radio reception...
A couple posts down I stated that I couldn't get very good radio reception when I installed my new Alpine head unit with the non-powered antenna adapter. I swapped it out yesterday with a powered antenna adapter and I get better reception but no where near the quality of the stock unit. And I get no AM stations which means no ESPN radio. What is the deal?

Welcome to european antennas.. horrible AM and little FM reception...
I'm suprised that it's that much worse than stock.. but I planned on going with an extra external antenna of some sort.

I had the exact opposite results!
I just switced from a Symphony to a Clarion DXZ745MP. I get MUCH better reception with the Clarion. The Symphony didn't even pick up some channels that I now get clearly. However, I haven't listened to the radio much since I hooked up Sirius.
