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="Paul S"]Do I recall that the REL had a fairly "unusual" tuning section - among its many features that were (and still are) novel for a "civilian" tuner - , and that many of those old parts were not only top, SOTA mil-spec back then but m...

[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 ...

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 over again and discuss ...

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...

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...

This is a very interesting thread.Many times, while driving around I listen to classical or jazz fm stations. Occasionally, I stumble upon some performance so beautiful that it pulls me in and I find myself completely paralyzed and unable ...

which hasn't been serviced by Stereo Surgeon, hence the 75R FM input has the normal gain. Right?I still don't know what's the FA7 for. Test signal to align the tuner? Lower gain for amplified antennas? I'll be very thankful if you could give some inf...

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...

[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 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:

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...

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 ...

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 ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, start to record and you will love this processor even more.[/quote]I'd love to give this a go... I just need something worth recording!I have a good FM antenna on my roof and a half-decent tuner in the guise of a Ro...

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...

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....

A few years ago, hearing Romy's amazing FM recordings, the computer seemed a necessity. So now it is here, and it blesses and seduces.Jumping around playlists is sometimes a lot of fun. Quick comparisons and sudden thrills, and newness. Along with...

[quote user="glaesemann"]How deep can one go with FM signal analysis? I'm interested in what instruments people are using to analyze their FM signals. Here in Westchester County just north of New York City we have a few good stations. I use a Winegar...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is always surprised me why audio people never did what FM people did. FM people crated a site: http://www.FmTunerInfo.com where they enumerated in very consistent format all available FM tuners (with exemption of so...

I overly impressed with the new way or routing the antenna input with my TU-X1. This tuner with this new input get amassing sensitively (much higher than original) with a nose of a good CD player – very impressive! Way more interesting as it was righ...

This weekend I decide to take my FM where it should be. I ran ~125” and installed a dipole on the roof of my building and serviced my tuner. The result was as expected but there was something unexpected. Along with all normal benefits of better anten...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...

On the line stage I currently use I haven't got around to fitting a selector switch so I really do have to change the cabling arrangement each time I want to listen to a different source. As I only really use 2 sources and occasionally an fm tuner wi...

I brought home another "top-rating" tuner with better front-end and trying to see if the TU-X1 hold the ground. The competition was groundless – Sansui destroyed the contestant, I will talk about it more in future.
Minwhile it was a broadcast today ...

These gifts only FM can give! I am sitting home, do not bother anybody, turning up the tuner and suddenly discover absolutely amassing piece of music about which I never ever heard. I so felt in love with the piece that I listened it already 6 ...

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...
