A reader of my site sent me interesting information. It looks like Accuphase came up with a new model: T1100.

In this new model more functionality went to DSP, but the most important the ...

I have seen this effect before not frequently in my playback however. It happens that I did not listen my main playback attentively for 2 months. Frankly I did not even turn it on for a month or so. With many other things that are going now in my lif...

[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...

[quote user="skushino"]Yesterday I had 30 mins to kill before an appointment. I stopped at the local Goodwill to check the record bins and discovered a 3 LP set of Koussevitsy and BSO performing Prokofiev, for 99 cents. There is a little ...

Thank you Antonio. I now believe that those natural resonances were what I was hearing, and that they are very painful when the loudspeakers have limited bandwidth!I've listened to Caballé again, now with MF and LF connected, and now the resonan...

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 ...

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...

I’m involved now in a VERY interesting project that leads me to ask a strange question: did anyone ever research the subject of those Hi-Fi Mini Systems? What I need is a small source of FM and CD in a one small “comfy” box. I do not need that CD to ...

Figuring out how to switch REL Precedent’s IM bandwidth to more suitable for Stereo operation I was wondering about something else. The 250kHz window though which the REL Precedent looks to the FM band is might be fine for DXing or having good select...

This became really insulting: the FM broadcasts from a consumer quality radio delivery in my listening room the level of audio quality at absolutely unmatched level.
I’m not kidding. The Sansui TU-X1 that I use is a consumer machine made without any...

The fact that they are broadcasting digital streams over web has no impact over FM reception of cause. The problem is not “digital” but with the stations the embrace HD Radio. The HD Radio is very popular here in US and many do FM/HD simulcasts. ...

Adrian,
when you comment that “live broadcast is simply dramatically more alive, more dynamic, more involving. One cannot help but be drawn into the music emotionally and begin to think immediately about the compositional structure” then did you mad...

[quote user="steverino"]FM is Analog Signal Processing vs DSP. The compression aspect is only really intrusive on orchestral works. Pop and jazz are already compressed and chamber music presents a more limited dynamic range if not limited contrast. B...

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...

Robin, good point about instruments shifting harmonics according to loudness. Of course, hi-fi components (especially speakers) also "shift" with varying loudness, but the way a given component/speaker shifts does not necessarily correspond to how a ...
