Well, I have to admit that the stupendous sensitivity that Sansui TU-1X have after the Stereo Surgeons tune up to use the TU-1X is kind of complicated. With 0.8mkV this tuner picks the noise that my DACs radiate. I staffed all wholes of the Sansui’s with ferrite – it helps but still I need to shot down all digital in home to get good noise-free recording. Larry 924 is the worst. When this DAC is on it is Finita la comedia for good reception. With antenna is off and a piggy tail running near the Lavry’s DAC I can tune the tuner to the harmonics of the Lavry clocks (99.9Meg) and actually listen it via the speakers. Lavry A/D gold is better but still has some nose at lover frequencies (88-96Meg). The Pacific is the best, though not silent and it does have some HF noise injection. That is all with Sansui TU-1X, with Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 is it very different story – this tuner is practically immune to nastiness of digital noise from DACs. Even when the Larry DA924 is on and is tossing the UHF with a force of an atom bomb’s electro-magnetic impulse the Schwarz’s shielding actually handles it. Well, I would like to have TU-1X to act in the same way, I do not know at this point how...
