Yep, the TU-X1 is just wonderful. Find someone to align it, have a good antenna, good attenuator (it is hard to use it without one) and headphones to set the attenuator right – it is all that might ever need from FM. BTW, are you planning to record a...

[quote user="Antonio J."]What will you do with the second TU-X1? Are you planning to do some modifications on it? I was about bidding for it while it was very affordable, but once it started to get more and more expensive and I noticed it was you.......

This is a very interesting thread.Many times, while driving around I listen to classical or jazz fm stations. Occasionally, I stumble upon some performance so beautiful that it pulls me in and I find myself completely paralyzed and unable ...

I have found the problem and was able to resolve the noise quandary.
The Lavry ADC has balance analog input and the Sansui has single-ended output. I use my PAD’s Dominus cable with an RCA to XLR adapter. The adaptor was made by BAT and I used it f...

Jim thanks for the review and for the tip. I was not familiar with the T-2 model before. I is really interesting what this tuner dose and how unexpectedly musically it performs. I listened today a number of broadcasts from the CDs that I am well fami...

from both digital and analog tape formats, but as time goes by it may be easier to get good digital source material.So far the best recorded sound I have heard was (years ago) via Mark Levinson's (justly celebrated, IMO) Studer/Revox rigs; however,&n...

Paul,Have you listened to XLNC1 through an FM tuner? If so, how did it sound?KSDS sounded very good through a tuner :-)

It is a UK company, and Romy has unknowingly heard the AG1500 unit in my system (to the extent to which the rest of it makes it audible). I use it to drive a full range Melquiades SET, a DAC, and an FM tuner. It is carefully made, internally, and has...

I usually do not do the Audiogon posting. There are too many idiots in there and they are under too much protection of the douchebags that run that site. Not to mention that I well remember WHY I was “banned” from Audiogon to begin with:

I am in the process of setting up a DAW to record fm broadcast. Recently I installed a M-Audio 2496 DAC in a computer to do the recording. I am using a Yamaha T-85 tuner. Prior to routing the i.c. cables through the DAC I had no background noise f...

FM is a large part of my entertainment be it the car, boat or home, My Accuphase T100 was checked over and aligned back sometime in the late 1990s by a local fellow that is now deceased.I would like to have my tuner looked over again and discuss ...

Hi,Yes i don't understand all this, but they transmit concerts live over internet here with rate up to 192Kbps and quality is very good. With the satellite we can have AAC+ live broadcasts at high sample rate which i am wondering about quality as i d...

[quote user="mats"] I have used the RBRX1 at its currently widest IF setting, which is 157kHz.[/quote] Mats, did you mistype or this tuner does has the widest IF setting of 157kHz? The 157kHz is ridiculously small number. Anything below 250K shall ...

Inspired in part by Romy's results and excitement with FM, I wanted to try.
Restricted by apartment living, I had difficulties achieving a quiet stereo signal.
I was also concerned about the a/d conversion for d...

One of my Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 tuners with a matching Rohde & Schwarz MSDC MPX decoder is going away tomorrow. I was contemplating for a while I decided to let one of my Schwarz sets to do. I left with one EU-6201/MSDC2 decoder and Sansui ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is always surprised me why audio people never did what FM people did. FM people crated a site: http://www.FmTunerInfo.com where they enumerated in very consistent format all available FM tuners (with exemption of so...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, start to record and you will love this processor even more.[/quote]I'd love to give this a go... I just need something worth recording!I have a good FM antenna on my roof and a half-decent tuner in the guise of a Ro...

A few years ago, hearing Romy's amazing FM recordings, the computer seemed a necessity. So now it is here, and it blesses and seduces.Jumping around playlists is sometimes a lot of fun. Quick comparisons and sudden thrills, and newness. Along with...

I do not think they encode it with HDCD, I do not think that it is even possible. Most likely there is something in those files in the files that mislead your DAC and force it to throw the HDCD indicator. Might be I am wrong but I do not think that ...

Amperidian,
Those “evens” that you experienced I your cars are well known to me - the auto sound is very different subject though and I would not mix in into FM thread... The phenomena of car sound has nothing to do with FM in particular, you might...

Well, I'm not convinced.First things first. Yes I don't know specifics of FM recording, but what I know in general about recording is enough for me to conclude that sound processed threw converters A-D and back D-A is going to be ... well, processed....

[quote user="glaesemann"]How deep can one go with FM signal analysis? I'm interested in what instruments people are using to analyze their FM signals. Here in Westchester County just north of New York City we have a few good stations. I use a Winegar...

I overly impressed with the new way or routing the antenna input with my TU-X1. This tuner with this new input get amassing sensitively (much higher than original) with a nose of a good CD player – very impressive! Way more interesting as it was righ...

Here is good news for our town:
October 14, 2006 – Lyric Opera of Chicago to return to the radio with live opening–night broadcast of Salome on Saturday, October 21, 7:30 p.m. on 98.7WFMT.The sound of their live studio broadcast of piano trios Monda...

I brought home another "top-rating" tuner with better front-end and trying to see if the TU-X1 hold the ground. The competition was groundless – Sansui destroyed the contestant, I will talk about it more in future.
Minwhile it was a broadcast today ...

I am not a person who understands a lot about tuners. I understand a lot about sound and in the tuner world I am just a user of the things. If I need comprehension of the things I ask questions, I have very limited ability to extrapolate the sound of...

Can anyone shed some light on this problem? I am using a Yamaha T-85 stereo tuner. It has meters to show the strength of signal quality. Yesterday after installing a Terk indoor antenna and properly positioning the antenna I was able to get a ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The point is that now is 30-40 years after the best commercial tuners were made and nowadays there are a lot of ability to make the tuner WAY better then when it use to be. I do not think that FM is very lucrative direction...
