Adrian,
when you comment that “live broadcast is simply dramatically more alive, more dynamic, more involving. One cannot help but be drawn into the music emotionally and begin to think immediately about the compositional structure” then did you mad...

[quote user="scooter"]What does this mean for Mr. TU-X1?[/quote]
Actually it has nothing do with TU-X1. If I record with TU-X1 I will have virtually the same result. The TU-X1 is bounded to Pacific A/D converter and Schwarz is bounded to Lavry. Schw...

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...

[quote user="Antonio J."]then it will be worth exploring. I have always missed in my playback the way the air in a concert hall gets filled of sound, as if notes and specially their armonics were flowing upwards. The TU-X1 does that trick quite nicel...

hi romy,yes, digital compression sucks and is the main reason hd radio sounds so sterile. the dildo analogy is quite appropriate, imo. but, if there's a station you enjoy that doesn't come in well, the xdr f1-hd does sound quite nice - if...

I have been wanting to set up my components for recording of broadcasts for a while now so this would be good incentive to shift my backside into gear.My Sansui TU-X1 has been restored and improvements made. I am very happy with the results at ...

Dear Romy,
My tests showed 2 separate types of noise/interference being caused when TU-X1 & DA-924 were switched ON while the TU-X1 was set to OUTPUT FM: -
First noise/interference, the Sansui TU-X1 was passing an AM broadcast on VARIABLE OUTPU...

Dear Romy,I performed the following tests:Test 1.Digital CD source OFF;Digital Domain DD-2 processor OFF;Lavry DA-924 OFF;Sansui TU-X1 ON and set to FM output;Custom tube amplifier ON volume HIGH;ESL-57 speaker arrays ON;Result: no interference and n...

I haven't listened to the TU-X1, but I can swear that my TU-919 is a better source than my Bidat or my vinyl rig in terms of creating an atmosphere of music. Here we only have two decent stations, one for classical which from time to time broadc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]My attitude with my main TU-X1 is “do not harm” as I pretty much have no complains of frustration to it’s sound and I would be pity to loose what I have now from this tuner. I have some people told me about specific mods bu...

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...

[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.......
|
|
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...

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...
|

Nope, it was not the “new” TU-X1 but the old one and it has nothing to do with modifications that I did with the old one. I just looks like found a way to make the TU-X1 to lose a lot of its noise by changing the way how antenna feeds to the front en...

Peter,It is obviously that in your installation Lavry and FM are much more isolated then in mine. In fact if your power amp breaks both ground and central wire then when you switch you playback to “Leg B” then digital in not in the picture at all. Ev...

[quote user="drdna"]I sent Mr Chow an e-mail, but have received no reply yet. However, the interesting thing is that tonight the music on the local classical channel was fantastic. Maybe the electricity was particularly good today? I think I am still...

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...

amplification….

If you look at the schematics of the TU-X1 then you mig...

Continue in my journey to found an optimum solution for Multiplex stereo decoder I made today some experiments with Ampex multiplex decoder with intention to see if it would be able to offers any advantages over Sansui’s HA11223W-based PLL multiplex....

I spoke with various people about availability of upgrades for Sansui TU-X1. I have to admit that I have no problems with it sound and my concern is purely intellectual – there are better sounding resistors nowadays and there are better caps then ele...

[quote user="doug s."]re: my tu-x1, yes, it's a fine sounding beast. unfortunately, i cannot give you any info re: how it sounded before mods; when i bought it, it was japan-spec - 76-90mhz tuning band, 50us deemphasis and 100v. i had it ...
