hi romy,i like fm. and i like comparing different tunas. in the past ten years, i have bought and sold at least a hundred different tunas. i presently have more than thirty. easily 90% of my music listening is fm, even in the ...

Dear Antonio, there is a picture of the Sansui FA-7 antenna in the TU-X1 brochure and it definitely looks like it is a small external antenna designed for use in high density accommodation. I did not try this antenna. In m...

This became really insulting: the FM broadcasts from a consumer quality radio delivery in my listening room the level of audio quality at absolutely unmatched level.
I’m not kidding. The Sansui TU-X1 that I use is a consumer machine made without any...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] In the 2008 I have a few immediate goals:
1) Finalize the 6-chennals version of Super Melquiades and integrate it with Macondo
2) Finalize the “End of Life" Phonostage:
3) ...

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...

Dear Romy, it is possible. I would need to obtain some cables to make the connection between my Sansui TU-X1 and Lavry Blue ADC. Also, I do not have access yet to broadband so till then recordings could be to CDR and then I could post the...

Hi again Romy. I have never tried many of the 'super tuners' such as the Sansui TU-X1, Accuphase T-1100, Yamaha CT-7000 etc so I have no idea how this newer BW Broadcast unit would compare with them. Luckily the BBC still broadcast some very good qua...

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...

Keeping harassing different people bout the most interesting options for multiplex decoder for my Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 I was wondering if it makes sense to me to use the Rohde. It is a very good tuner but it is not necessary result in better s...

On the sansui, I tried using ferrite on all the rear inputs. No change in noise level.
On the ad122, I wrapped a single large donut around the interconnects,
which are supposedly shielded, but no change in noise level. I tried
putting ferrite ...

I owned a Luxman LV-117 which I found pretty "right" musically driving some 93dB/w/m JBL's I had eons ago. In its time, there was a LV-103 which was also well regarded, but that I never listened to, so I cannot talk about it. They can ...

[quote user="drdna"] Honestly for now, the character of the tuner is unobtrusive enough that I notice mostly the problems I have with the preamplifier and the electricity. However, I would be interested about what you had thought at this point to be ...

Of course I haven't compared it with the Sansui, which appears to be a very serious machine but the Leak sounds more natural to me than the other highly regarded tuners available over here (in the UK) such as the various Naim models, the Audiola...

Interpreting, John. When you hook is up can you write up your observations about the sound of this thing, perhaps in a different thread.… I might, in a few weeks, will be able to add quite a lot of new observations about the Sansui TU-X1. I als...

There is large army of people who dedicate quite a lot of efforts in audio for “voicing” audio components, believing that different passive elements of electric circuit, cables, directivity of cables and many other things are “gravely important”.&nbs...

This would involve some researching... thus introduing (possibly unecessary) complexity: look for a Sony or Yamaha or Sansui "power j-fet" amp. These were produced s/where in the mid '70s and should be very cheap now. I have listened to a Yamaha...

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...

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...

If you read my site or talk to me then you know that I am very much not a proponent to dummy idea of balancing specific problems of playback system by using specific complimentary cables. I always tend to use individually neutral components with ...

I set up one of my TU-X1 to work from own front end and from Schwarz via high quality relay. It very convenient – push a button and the front-end switched. Everything is well shielded, there are no noises and everything is very nice. What however sur...

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 ...

de charlus - I used a few of these Behringer boxes and the level of features is staggering. However, in my experience with the Ultra box, sound quality was significantly reduced in "bypass" mode, reduced further when employed as a DAC, and reduce...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]You would not need any “special” A/D converters, as I did impose any demeaned to “quality”. All you that you need to have a more or less reasonable tuner, a good antenna, strong reception and an ability to write it up at 24...
|
|
[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...

[quote user="Antonio J."]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 ...

for those with cash burning a hole in their pockets, a Sansui AU-X1 Integrated Amp is currently listed on ebay for $1,250 "buy it now price"
The seller titled this as, "Rare - highly sought after." Hyperbole. These actually don't come up for sa...

Thanks, Gordon
I have absolutely no desire to undertake any DIY efforts for MiniMe amp. The amp that I want will be boxed, with bells and whistles, binding posts and matters. There were plenty of top of the line Yamahas, Sonys and Sansuis were...

Thanks, tuga, I never visited Feastrex site, in fact I thought that it is not available in English. In reality the Feastrex site is fine and gives quite eloquent information about Feastrex product and the Feastrex views. In the Testimonial...

I am faced with remodeling a bit. I started out with all my equipment on an Arcici Lead Balloon rack and two speakers, which was nice and simple. The mono SE-DHT tube amplifiers I built are now on either side. I recently have come into po...

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...
