[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...

Dear Romy,I have completed testing on my machines and am now satisfied with the results.I have three output sections of the FM tuner able to be switched easily on my amplifier for instant comparison.a) [FM tuner FIXED ANALOG OUTPUT] -> [...

[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...

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...

A site reader sent me last nigh a link to a Yahoo newsgroup where a guy posted at feedback about Accuphase T-1100

The Lavry DA-924 and Sansui TU-X1 are on separate equipment legs/chains and only come together at inputs to the amplifier. They also are on separate uninterruptible power supplies that are on separate legs of our wall supplies. Also,...

I am sure that recording might be implemented by different means - as long as you feel that you do not lose the quality that FM offers then any means are good.[/quote]Today I set-up FM tuner -> ADC -> DACs -> am...

Here we go. One more person got hooked on FM and “get” where the real high-end lives… If you live in Chicago then try to develop some connections and get assess to folks who have WFMT-FM sound-check tapes form the WFMT’ past. 20-35 years ago WFMT-FM ...

Lot's of discussion about radio and tuners lately, so I'll throw in my 2 cents...I live on top of a hill in Seattle. Still the reception is sketchy, and I was seeking a temporary solution until I put an antenna on my roof. Yesterday, the ...

I see that apple has added a FM tuner to its new iPod nano
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features/fm-radio.htmlI would bet that the tuner is medicore, but it has the potential to boost FM listenership considerably given the massive market penetratio...

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...

Peter, I do not know what is doing in with AM, I do not use it and all my experiments are in FM range. You might do the following: take FM antenna out of tuner and use instead a few cm of local wire. Defeat the noise causation on Sansui and run the t...

Dear Romy,
I am continuing with testing.
Conclusions at high amplifier volume: -
1) FM tuner variable OUTPUT-2 supplies less background noise than FM tuner variable OUTPUT-1.2) Inserting hard disk recorder into the chain is blameless....

OK, no one argue that FM is good BUT the cost and complexity to record doe FM is quite high. It look like that it might not be more simple – to turn your tuner, to turn your A/D, to tune your DAW and to record whatever you wish. Well, l it is surpris...

Here in Boston, we’re blessed with a number of very good classical FM radio stations. I had for a long time a Magnum Dynalab Etude tuner and quite regularly was listening “live” broadcasts and many other beauties of urban FM life. I had a few t...

PS: The "best" DSP I have heard actually has a sort of smoothing/homogenizing effect, not entirely dissimilar to FM.Bingo. But I would quibble with the homogenizing aspects of FM through an excellent vintage tuner because many transients an...

Well, Doug
My attraction to HD Radio statred from the moment when I learned that my WGBH does one less step of analog compression for DH1 compare to FM and do not use limiting-out at HD2 for live-to-tape recordings. Very promising, isn’t it?&n...
