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 very precise working oscillator. Another had very well perfuming intermittent section and generally better sounding. I put them into one unit and mane a few other minor modifications in audio section and power supplies. The combined unit has phenomenal sensitively, very good stability to hold the station, fantastic selectivity and insane immunity against overload.  But the best part of it that it also sounds very seriously.

I do feel at this point that it has a very small edge over Sansui, not mach but has. The EU-6201 bas a very minor advance in bass, yes, believe me or not but the advance over TU-X1. It is also a bit different. I would call the TU-X1’s bass more sophisticated and soft but EU-6201’s bass more brutal and violent – not necessary a bad thing. Also the EU-6201 is a very slightly more forward in mid bass… Otherwise they are insultingly similar…

There is one more unique quality in the new combined Schwarz - the one that did not expected and never seen before. The TU-X1 and Schwarz subjectively have identical dynamics but with station running compressed signal somehow the EU-6201  feels like is has more dynamic. It feels like it almost decompresses the signal. Of course it is not the case but do I care if the crappy WCRB-like stations sound with Schwarz less compressed?
