Post Subject: The Schwarz's complex reception recordingPosted by Romy the Cat on: 7/5/2008

Here is a good Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 illustration. This is a station not truly DX but a station that is in very difficult reception environment. I never was able to get it clear from my location. Even the DX champion Yamaha T-85 in its ultra narrow more had it with quite unpleasant noise (not to mention that T-85 sound more or less OK only in super wide mode). Sansui have it with some noise and the most unpleasant with some braking up. It was very said as this station does BSO live broadcasts…

Now, the new Schwarz – no pre- filtration, not attenuation, one range, no tricks. The tuner doe wonderfully I am applauded the recording. It was recorded in 88/24 via Schwarz, T-85 decoder and then into Lavry Gold AD. The uploaded file is down conversion to 44/24 file – so some transients got eaten. The Trojans at Carthage of Berlioz's epic opera Les troyens James Levine conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in a LIVE broadcast from in Lenox, Mass. You will see that sound is defused and not praised but it is from the Koussevitzky Music Shed at Tanglewood – open air performance. If you were then you know that it is how the Koussevitzky Music Shed sounds…

You will see some minor noise from Schwarz as well but at very low level. Also I did not deal a lot with this station and I do not know what noise normally their equipment has. Anyhow, regarding all technicalities I hope you will feel how different LIVE broadcasts are from any pre-caned crap that industry realizes on CDs.

PS: BTW, if you cannot play 24Bit then do not bother download the file.
