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...

Thanks for information, Gordon I am a skeptic about this DAB+. Whatever amount of kBits they select it will be still digitally compressed format. So, it will be one of the versions of our HD format. I presume it will be better then HD but I down tha...

I think, it is useful to go back a little bit in time, when talking about Tuners. In the 50‘ and 60‘s records (and the their Equipment) was VERY expensive, it was a Hobby for the upperclass. For general public the Tuner was the main unit to...

Public radio WGBH (89.7) reportedly bid $14m for WCRB (99.5), Boston's fledging privately held 100% classical radio station. Reportedly the idea is to make 89.7 a pure news format, whereas it previously was a hybrid including classical music. WCRB wi...

I was “complaining” before that there is some kind of “very beautiful devil” lives in FM radio broadcasts. I can’t figure out why even when they broadcast the recordings from the CDs that I know very well then thier broadcasts impact t more musical t...

Thanks, Gordon

Yes, you are right, I forgot that it is mono PP radio. I such case one ECL82 triode is driver stage and one is phase splitter. Here is a full cur cut of the radio. There is nothing special in it – a very typical circuit. http://www.goodsoundclub.com...

I came across this classical streaming station while searching out the net for new music enlightenment. I believe it is in an experimental stage and the only one of it's kind. It makes available 16 bit 48khz signal streamed. It does need a high bandw...

Hi Romy, I am a little behind the times as regards internet radio, etc.. Can I run some sort of cable to listen to these stations on my audio installation, or is it just for listening on the computer sound ?Thanks,R Weissman...

After much research I found the radio that I like. The decision was base mostly on the esthetic: size, color etc, sure I was conserving the circuit but only up to point. The choose when for German Schaub & Lorenz Goldsuper W42. It is 1957 ra...

Are these restek.de satellite tuners any good? I am wondering if I should update my fm tuner or if it is waste of money if we will be listening to satellite or internet based radio only in next few years. I like the idea of getting german live broad...

Is it just an excuse to sell your old equipment? I think as the community of music and audio grows smaller, there is often a revival of high quality audio, so there is a great deal of variability. It may be next season that a new person with a passio...

I got this heavy portable multi-band radio when I had a lot of down time and no energy, just wanted FM that was easy to turn on and off, mostly to listen to in my bedroom, including at night while I lay in bed. In particular, we have a local no-ads ...

I used to listen to one of those German tube table radios. Graetz Sinfonia or whatever.IIRC it had a SEP stage with some EL84 and a plastic kind of mini-horn for HF and in general was running oldtubes, has never been cleaned etc. But nevertheless aft...

Wojtek, I am indeed hemmed in by the fricking electricity these days, to the extent that it is about impossible to hold on to a baseline for reference. And the Lowthers only make the problem more apparent.Yes, I still wonder about how I wo...

Romy,A friend of mine has the Tivoli table top radio. I was pleasantly surprised by the music it produced. It was not bad at all. I realize it is not a great radio, but it is decent for the price, and it is small.Adrian...

Yep, this year was kind of different. The twins hit me like
much harder than the first child and to have “3 under 2” under the roof with
two parents having full time jobs is not fan at all. The new listening room was
the main new things but frankl...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Anyhow, I like your idea about the "memories" but not in the context how you used it. [/quote]

I can’t stress how much pleasure I get from my kitchen radio. It is not about brand of specific sound that the radio produces but rather the esthetics or it and the location. It happened that in my house a kitchen is a center of activities and traffi...
