Both of these short excerpts sound very natural from what I can hear on my PC's speakers. I'll have to burn them onto a cd and see if I can coax the sniffy Teac into playing it!What's the position with regard to this (or any other) material that...

I have just today received the Sansui TU-X1 and set it up in my system. It is very unusual sounding compared to other tuners I have heard.It is very detailed and has excellent tonal balance. It is accurate, but in a softly natural way, an...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Well, the T85++ and TU-1X Multiplex decoders do produces a different stereo. [/quote]It was quite phenomenal FM program this weekend in Boston. I was running it mostly off the Sansui tuner and again and again I was stunned...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

I wrote before about the Accuphase T-1000 and about my interest about it. Since I record FM it is supers beneficial to me that Accuphase has digitalized multiplex decoder with digital out before the output DA converters. This would allow sucking out ...

Well, it is hard to express my excitement about what the new FM99.5 All-Classical is turning into. It looks like the programming is settling down and my concerns about to become too popular turn out to be wrong. The programs are very good, the ...

It may be that the souind we want from the old radio is non-aggressive and capable of tenderly re-stirring the sense of things as they "were", which is to say, as we "remember" them. The radio is a tuner, an amp and a speaker or speakers, so it oug...

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...

Hi Romy,I believe you're right and it's due to the amount of LF the vinyl outputs, which may be more than the Bidat or the tuner do. It doesn't happen with all the discs, just some of them, which happen to be old recordings that probably have mo...

I discovered today an interesting detail. In one of my Sansui tuners has a malfunction and one of the output cables was accidently touching the ground terminal out the output pot. As the result the out impedance of the tuner became over 6000R. It was...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I did not say how my saga with APS Pure Power regenerator finish but it never finished. Since the end of the last year the regenerators is sitting in my closet and I have sent the unit’s main board to APS people for the “re...

I was wondering what the noise of stereo signal come into FM and are any ways to reduce it? Naturally we get out stations in mono mode with practically no noise at all. The best tuners more then 85dB signals to noise ratio – that are very high number...

Hi, I'll be very interested to see what you end up with. I really like my Shelter 901, but would like something which gives me a little more of the sound that i'm getting from my tuner. What do I mean by that, more realistic space/tone pe...

Todd, What you descried does not sound to me as inner-groove distortion, even though I am not exactly sure what inner-groove distortions are. The very first questing that I would ask if you have the same character of sound when you play your CD, or t...

J. Here is a start, If you want live hosts and quality FM broadcast with a wide varity of program material try CBC Radio, available just about everywhere here in Canada including the North West Territorys.Most nations radio stations have large budget...

I am curious how the Lindberg piece came across WGBH last night.Here in Chicago WFMT had the live feed.The results in my home were poor at best. It seemed my system was completely overwhelmed by what Magnus the Great offered. I just don't know wher...

[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.......

Hi Romy,Can you describe how your vinyl playback and conventional CD playback fall short of what you are getting from FM? Is the FM playback of 'non live' material still sounding better than your vinyl and cd? Have you tried recording vinyl wit...

[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 ...

David, I might be missing something. In US we have 200 kHz transmitter channel spacing and I think Europeans have 100 kHz. I was under impression that better tuner do 400-500kHz IF bandwidth but how would they operate in 200 kHz channel spacing? I n...

After hearing what a well designed FM station recording setup could deliver I became a believer. The question was what would be the cost involved to implement a good setup. After doing some research on the cost of Romy's components to capture fm br...

What I what to do it relatively simple. I was thinking to write up my own application that would handle the task but then I figured out that it is 21 century and it should be something like this out there ready to go for a 3 easy payments of $9.95.

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...

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 think it would be quite difficult for anyone to set up any sort of production of drive units and not become an 'industry' participant. It's quite remarkable that you manage to use a turntable, arms, cartridges, CD Player, Tuner, pre-amp and cables ...

KOTriode, I was not criticizing your DAC, whatever it is. I was saying that system-design-wise if your preamp was able to inflict such a dramatic change in Sound then in my view it just highlighted the problem with DAC. Take another DAC, or any comme...

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:
