I spoke with various people about availability of upgrades for Sansui TU-X1. I have to admit that I have no problems with it sound and my concern is purely intellectual – there are better sounding resistors nowadays and there are better caps then ele...

There are two fragments of recordings: 3 weeks ago and today. The Wagner file was made from original Sansui and the Bizet’s file with that new Sansui with updated better parts. I think it is possible to see what I meant to say. Please do not download...

The Lavry DA-924 and Sansui TU-X1 are on separate equipment legs/chains and only come together at inputs to the amplifier. They also are on separate uninterruptible power supplies that are on separate legs of our wall supplies. Also,...

The Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 tuner was made for German Ultrakurzwellen (ultra short waves or FM) Broadcast Network. The idea was to have a chain of wide-bandwidth composite signal receivers that feed re-transmitters. I made an attempt to accommoda...

[quote user="drdna"] Honestly for now, the character of the tuner is unobtrusive enough that I notice mostly the problems I have with the preamplifier and the electricity. However, I would be interested about what you had thought at this point to be ...

Above I made comments that despite my new Experimental Sansui TU-X1 with better parts is much better (I have someone who actually objectively measure it) but the old and not modified Sansui TU-X1 has that advantage of the unique tone that I val...

[quote user="Antonio J."]then it will be worth exploring. I have always missed in my playback the way the air in a concert hall gets filled of sound, as if notes and specially their armonics were flowing upwards. The TU-X1 does that trick quite nicel...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] BTW, pay attention that TU-X1 while doing “space” does not change the size of imaging. Pay also attention how sensitively TU-X1 portrays the acoustic environment of each performing hall… BTW, if you use TU-X1 then try...

OK. After a few days of self-education and harassment of various technical people I got what I need – the truth and the reasons why both of my Sansuis TU-X1 sounded so honorable from 75R FM input and so much better from FA-7 input. Below I will...
|
|
which hasn't been serviced by Stereo Surgeon, hence the 75R FM input has the normal gain. Right?I still don't know what's the FA7 for. Test signal to align the tuner? Lower gain for amplified antennas? I'll be very thankful if you could give some inf...
|
|
Nope, it was not the “new” TU-X1 but the old one and it has nothing to do with modifications that I did with the old one. I just looks like found a way to make the TU-X1 to lose a lot of its noise by changing the way how antenna feeds to the front en...
|
|
I overly impressed with the new way or routing the antenna input with my TU-X1. This tuner with this new input get amassing sensitively (much higher than original) with a nose of a good CD player – very impressive! Way more interesting as it was righ...

Ok, as I promised I repost the final result - a complete fiasco. I have no idea why – becose the “better” parts in output stage or because it is just a different unit but the new Sansui TU-X1, although it is objectively better then my old Sansui TU-X...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The alignment, tuning and changes will be done very soon and then the sound of the both: virgin Sansui TU-X1 and the updated will be compared. I am very interested to hear the result. [/quote] I got my second Experimental S...

Interpreting, John. When you hook is up can you write up your observations about the sound of this thing, perhaps in a different thread.… I might, in a few weeks, will be able to add quite a lot of new observations about the Sansui TU-X1. I als...

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...
|
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]My attitude with my main TU-X1 is “do not harm” as I pretty much have no complains of frustration to it’s sound and I would be pity to loose what I have now from this tuner. I have some people told me about specific mods bu...
|
|
Now two months later, it seems the unit in the first few weeks needed to settle in. The effect of collapsing sound images gradually has gone away. Now, the unit before it warms up still retains some of the "silky soft accuracy" character, but this ...
|
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Also, there are a lot of people out there who love to propose to modify and to improve the TU-X1. Be careful with it and might be done but very accurately. In fact I spoke with a few modification specialists and was a bit a...

I sent Mr Chow an e-mail, but have received no reply yet. However, the interesting thing is that tonight the music on the local classical channel was fantastic. Maybe the electricity was particularly good today? I think I am still very much in the ...

here is the LIVE recording from today via TU-X1 (the file is 94Meg in 24/88). Even considering that you do not ...

Adrian,
when you comment that “live broadcast is simply dramatically more alive, more dynamic, more involving. One cannot help but be drawn into the music emotionally and begin to think immediately about the compositional structure” then did you mad...

[quote user="scooter"]What does this mean for Mr. TU-X1?[/quote]
Actually it has nothing do with TU-X1. If I record with TU-X1 I will have virtually the same result. The TU-X1 is bounded to Pacific A/D converter and Schwarz is bounded to Lavry. Schw...
