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...

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...

Lot's of discussion about radio and tuners lately, so I'll throw in my 2 cents...I live on top of a hill in Seattle. Still the reception is sketchy, and I was seeking a temporary solution until I put an antenna on my roof. Yesterday, the ...

It is amazing how much lives in the FM broadcasts. Just now the WHRB transmitted in their “Tuesday-Thursday ’s Nights” the Radio Amsterdam’s broadcast of the Royal Concertgebouw with Bernard Natick played the Debussy’s “La Mer” and Shostakovich’s 8Th...

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...

Generally Japan has very good reputation for preserving of classical programming. Their CDs are fantastic. Why should they do not do the same with FM….Rgs,The caT[/quote]I know! Thanks to some of your tips I have pu...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Anyhow, the Melquiades does have some “tricks” in the realm of dynamic viscosity. It is what make it quite different in term of Reality Reconstruction as I feel that propagation of sound via air does not have linear “audio ...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I live where FM program quality justifies a good tuner. Despite getting what I consider to be really excellent sound from this modded TU9900, I will one day compare it to a TU-X1. I will post my findings here.[/quote]

A couple months back I sent to Dima a link with a wonderful collection of audio articles from first part of the 20s century:

In next couple days, talking with Dima he asked me: “Roma, what is REL Company a...

Figuring out how to switch REL Precedent’s IM bandwidth to more suitable for Stereo operation I was wondering about something else. The 250kHz window though which the REL Precedent looks to the FM band is might be fine for DXing or having good select...

Allo fellas,
Yes, it is strange. There are a number of decent venues for large scale classical, the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, opera at the Coliseum etc, but as far as I can tell, on FM, it's Radio 3 and Classic FM, the latter playing cheesy sni...

I’m involved now in a VERY interesting project that leads me to ask a strange question: did anyone ever research the subject of those Hi-Fi Mini Systems? What I need is a small source of FM and CD in a one small “comfy” box. I do not need that CD to ...

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...

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 ...

|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, interesting. The problem might be in ADC, I/O cared, Recorder or DAC. When you do the experiment do you record the file? If so then you might plug ADC directly into DAC. Might your problem be with cloaking? I do know wh...

The sound in tuner is born in intimidate frequency stage. Still it looks like the Sound of tuner is still mostly described by stereo decoder and output stage. I have two Sansuis TU-X1 that have against the certain station virtually identical so...

I have to admit that engaging in second R&S receiver I was perusing just a better unit – I was getting it from the hands of Munich R&S technical – fully calibrated and tested. I always met to keep juts one unit but I kind of grow on them and&...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Simply beyond any criticism. The Purepower bass was something that sold me on the very first unit in June 2007. The very first Purepower 1050 had the same type of bass. What kind bass? Well, if juts did not “improve” it and...

It look like the FM recoding on PC is shaping up and I was able to make some test recordings with quite positive result. (Sansui 1X – Larvy AD122 - Linx16 – WaveLab Light – HD - Linx16 - Bidat). Unfortunately there are many setting on the card a...

[quote user="Wojtek"]With the stock radio-CD and buzzing fulrange speakers in my Civic I often find myself puzzled how pleasant and musical this crap sounds. If only I could get close to it at home -fruitless pursuit so far .Romy when it comes to tub...

[quote user="Paul S"] I really would not know where to start with most of the crap out there, since most commercial SS sounds like it makes "music" by inhaling it. But I've heard "acceptable" units from those listed, albeit in some poor environ...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"] I know lot's of small DIY shops but they would charge me several hundred euros to explain to me that they don't understand what I am saying. [/quote]
Yes, this is a good one. I am in the same boat with most of the s...

Well, after the year of playing with it I did what I always wanted. Without having a technician who would be able to work on the Schwarz I combined my two of Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 into one. One of them had very good front and with v...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have no idea where this saga with REL leads me. Even though I do have substantial sonic improvement over the original REL version I still do not know if I like this tuner all together. The 50 years all tube tuner with...

[quote user="jtavan"]This might be an overly-obvious suggestion, but have you checked (with an audio editor program) that you're using most of the available recording range? That is, are peaks on the signal up near the maximum level possible given yo...

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...

As I said - the “smart” Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 is virtually immune form any signal overload at list I was not able to found the station what need attenuation. The gloriously sounding Sansui SU-X1 had much more stupid frond end and this beast nee...
