Romy, all things being equal we all 'hear' differently.  I can not listen to a Pioneer tuner, others love them.  I've had so many tuners that others have loved, but I just didn't like them...the list is too long to include, but trust me, if...

hi romy,yes, digital compression sucks and is the main reason hd radio sounds so sterile.  the dildo analogy is quite appropriate, imo.  but, if there's a station you enjoy that doesn't come in well, the xdr f1-hd does sound quite nice - if...

Hi again Romy. I have never tried many of the 'super tuners' such as the Sansui TU-X1, Accuphase T-1100, Yamaha CT-7000 etc so I have no idea how this newer BW Broadcast unit would compare with them. Luckily the BBC still broadcast some very good qua...

The life with FM is great – did not play record for a month or so… I was playing with some other tuners that came across Kenwood L-02T and Mono Scott 310. Both were no good. Anyhow, the experimental Sansui was running all that time. The “tone” at HF...
