It was a mystery for me. I love Stravinsky but I hate the “Right of Spring”.
I made so many attempts to “get” the “Right of Spring” that it became almost masochistic – considering that I do love and appreciate many other Stravinsky works. I own doz...

Hi romy,
I am sorry I will not be much help regarding sound quality of FM at present. I do not currently record but hope to do so in the future. My FM stereo reception is poor but this is mostly to do with my aerial. I also live in a d...

Thanks for your responses guys. Would be great to learn some practical procedures how to setup a tuner/antenna combo properly.

Cat:First off, the Silbatone Aporia is $30k/pr not 100k. You could do 6 speaker surround with Aporia for well under $100k. Hope you feel better now."So what," I say. $30k is already too much for my pocket. I am on a fellowship this year and cheapskat...
