[quote user="Hyperborean"] Well, I'm not convinced. [/quote]
Well, I do not think that you would see anywhere at my site trying to convince anybody. The only person I do try to convince is myself, and I might assure you that so far it was quit...

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...

I wonder why no one uses antenna diversity systems for High-end FM reception. The diversity systems are very popular in better car audio installations. All police cars use antenna diversity; many PA wireless microphones use antenna diversity, the...

I was wondering how different would be my audio habits if I “discover” the FM in Boston earlier. I lived in Boston for a few years and did not acknowledge the highly available wonderful word of FM broadcast. I think that if I “FM-wake up” early in th...

David, I guess I misread your comment. As I saw your following line:
“27kHz, 36kHz, 45kHz, 53kHz, 62kHz, 71kHz, 79kHz, 88kHz, 97kHz, 105kHz, 114kHz, 123kHz, 131kHz, 140kHz 149kHz, 157kHz.”
I was puzzled what the hell you guys are ...

A few weeks back as I got the Schaub & Lorenz I pulled the pubes out and measured them on my tester. The tubes were very week and the output tubes were semi-dead. The Schaub uses a pair of ECL82 tube in output stage. The ECL82 are triode-pentode...

I am not a DIYer and have no skills nor knowledge to build the Melquiades, so I contacted a technician here to have one built. He said he could make it and stated the cost at around 3000USD including his working time. He suggested some changes in the...

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...

Adrian, how do you find your TU-X1 after those two month? Did anything changed? Do you observer the same effect on all stations? How about switching it in mono?
I have to say that I can’t be happier with TU-X1. Particularly recently after I sp...

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 ...

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 ...

It's quite a marvel from what I can tell now. The overall sound is somewhat on the darker side but the preamp is still breaking in (although I gave it 30h benchtop burn in with the frybaby track). I also suppose it reveals the Dannoy and the room int...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do some very interesting experiments with Rohde & Schwarz tuner. Dima and I have discovered a way to use the Schwarz without the wide bandwidth amplifier, driving the Multiplex Decoder from the Schwarz’s preamps. Bas...

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...

Oatman,
I might understand that you have a desire to keep your REL as authentic as possible (that I feel is not a dignified objective to begin with – this is Tuner not the Fabergé Egg), but if you go not for a look but for the actual result then tra...

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...

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 ...

OK, got the Placette from the second round of "modification", it took 15 second to confirm that the HF problems that I sniffed out was not there anymore – so the absolute transparency is back to the business and this time the word “absolute” could be...

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...

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....

Like I said in several tuner/antenna threads here, I have never had good classical FM/programming to tune in to, anywhere I've ever lived. And my travels suggest that your good times in Boston were an exception, versus the usual fare in other metrop...
