Well, Nerone, the differences between any tuners would greatly vary with signal, not even with the strength of signal but rather with the specific location and surrounding of a given station. To make the things conceptually right it wou...

You do not have other ways to connect then how you have connected as in your case of M-Audio card you have AD and DA abort to you DAW. I would load with ferrite in common and deferential mode the cables that go to tuner and play with the way how you ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I know lot's of small DIY shops but they would charge me several hundred euros to explain to me that they don't understand what I am saying. [/quote]
Yes, this is a good one. I am in the same boat with most of the s...

[quote user="rwjp"]I live in Melbourne Australia and happened to listen to this live broadcast last night, at a low level due to having two young kids.
Although i don't listen to a lot of classical music, with a new tuner in my system i am finding m...

[quote user="jp"]In my experimentations, the da924 doesnt contribute much noise in my setup. Rather in my setup its the lavry ad122 thats the trouble maker. When all digital is turned off I have a very quiet background. Here are my observations...

If you search my link with keyword “tuner” then you come across the “Stereo Surgeons” a tuners service center in Connecticut. I was a month ago searching a place to align my Sansui SU-1X and interview a few shops in US. I was searching somebody who w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have no idea where this saga with REL leads me. Even though I do have substantial sonic improvement over the original REL version I still do not know if I like this tuner all together. The 50 years all tube tuner with...

[quote user="alexd"]To answer your question about DAW output vs tuner. Well Tuner is not highest quality source to start with. I do not think you will hear much difference between DAW analog output and tuner analog output.[/quote]
It is unquestionab...

Thanks, DaveWhat kind front-end your tuner has?Romy, probably best I point you to a datasheet as it contains more information than I could fit in my reply :Dhttp://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/TEF6730A.pdfAny further information about the tuner f...

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...

A couple months back I sent to Dima a link with a wonderful collection of audio articles from first part of the 20s century:

In next couple days, talking with Dima he asked me: “Roma, what is REL Company a...

OK. After a few days of self-education and harassment of various technical people I got what I need – the truth and the reasons why both of my Sansuis TU-X1 sounded so honorable from 75R FM input and so much better from FA-7 input. Below I will...
|
Thanks, David. I consulted with my technical recourses and they do not know the chip you use in the front end. It is very hard to predict how this solution will work in a real live. I presume that a discreet analog front end is more powerful then thi...
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also, there are a lot of people out there who love to propose to modify and to improve the TU-X1. Be careful with it and might be done but very accurately. In fact I spoke with a few modification specialists and was a bit a...

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...

[quote user="TonyB"]What does Linx16 card do in your tuner recording set up? Do the digital A/D signals only pass through Linx16 or do they get buffered in PC RAM and then go to the Linx16 digital output? Tuner audio sounded very similar directl...
|
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...
|
So I thought my tuner weren't properly adjusted. It has not been serviced nor recently aligned, I have no proficient technicians around who I depend to let them put their hands into the tuner. The damn thing always picked up Bidat's and CEC...

Hi Romy,Your findings are interesting, I expected TL0 and PC with Linx16 digital output to be close. What digital output did you use on the PC at that time?What does Linx16 card do in your tuner recording set up? Do the digital A/D signals only ...
|
You are right, the DAC18 is 16 bits device, we could not find many sources of 24 Bits material being output in digital form via SPDIF or USB.Due to the Digital Copyright Law, no devices can output (in digital form) anything higher than 16 Bits / 48 K...

[quote user="misnacat"] 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...
|
Yes, you've got an issue of some kind. Start with getting an 'alignment' for it....not one that just aligns the tuner dial with the stationnumber, but a front end algnment....there should be someone in SF who can do this for $100.My TU-X1 was t...
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, interesting. The problem might be in ADC, I/O cared, Recorder or DAC. When you do the experiment do you record the file? If so then you might plug ADC directly into DAC. Might your problem be with cloaking? I do know wh...

I certainly would not listen to much on the radio if I didn't have my Macintosh MR 67 tuner. I might listen to snippets just to see whether I might like a particular recording but extended listening through the computer etc would be very fatiguing. A...

Thanks, Dave What kind front-end your tuner has? Any further information about the tuner further topology? Availability? Price? Any information about the A/D processor you have in it? The most important, where/when is possible to see it in the field...

Hello All;Any idea where I can get an antenna connection for an REL tuner. It appears to be a clear plastic connector with holes in one end and set screws to secure the strands of a 300 ohm dipole antenna with another end that plugs into the back of ...
|
Strange but I have found that my reception is significantly better if I don't use any connector between my antenna cable(radio shack RG whatever going up to rooftoop antenna) and my tuner but instead just strip off a bit of wire at the end of the cab...

The sound in tuner is born in intimidate frequency stage. Still it looks like the Sound of tuner is still mostly described by stereo decoder and output stage. I have two Sansuis TU-X1 that have against the certain station virtually identical so...
