I have noted before that the quietly of sound that I’m getting from FM broadcast, or even from the regular FM transmissions of the regular CDs, is insultingly beautiful and not really compatible with Sound that I get out of my CD and LPs.

When I said that AM sounded in the Sansui as good as FM in other tuners, I meant just that, not that AM was as good as FM. FM in the Sansui is in a league of its own, but its AM is so good too that sounds better than most FM tuners or portable radios...

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 to admit that some of my opponents might consider my organizational views on high-end audio too socialistic and will recognize in my view some residues of me growing up in socialistic society. Leaving aside the prejudicial and completely fooli...

[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]

[quote user="cv"]I think for the UK it's 2012. Also, hHere in London the only classical station worth listening to if you ask me is BBC Radio 3. So a TU-X1 and Lavry would be something of an enormous investment all things considered. I'm fairly sure ...

I don't have RF sweep generator but it's fairly easy to source here. I will take the tuner to local FM tuner tech to re-check alignment and we'll take it from there in a couple of weeks. I will have to read more about RF circuits trough this tim...

Zako, the first order of business is programming; ie, what sort of music could you enjoy, best case? In my own situation, the quality of the tuner is the least of my problems!I am getting to the point where I wonder if computer-sourced program might...

Are these restek.de satellite tuners any good? I am wondering if I should update my fm tuner or if it is waste of money if we will be listening to satellite or internet based radio only in next few years. I like the idea of getting german live broad...

Let's see if I can magically produce a cd-dvd-preamp-remote volume conntrol-equalizer-wifi-d/a-save stations-and cost under $1000. And it will even tune in TV stations, record them, FM and internet files and even do a/d encoding up to 24/192. Can't b...

After hearing what a well designed FM station recording setup could deliver I became a believer. The question was what would be the cost involved to implement a good setup. After doing some research on the cost of Romy's components to capture fm br...

J. Here is a start, If you want live hosts and quality FM broadcast with a wide varity of program material try CBC Radio, available just about everywhere here in Canada including the North West Territorys.Most nations radio stations have large budget...

I wrote before about the Accuphase T-1000 and about my interest about it. Since I record FM it is supers beneficial to me that Accuphase has digitalized multiplex decoder with digital out before the output DA converters. This would allow sucking out ...

One of the True Mysteries of Life is why FM ever sounds good, at all. First, think about the sources at the "station". Then, think of the way the signal is compressed and manipulated, best case. These reflections alone are enough to...

Hi Romy,Can you describe how your vinyl playback and conventional CD playback fall short of what you are getting from FM? Is the FM playback of 'non live' material still sounding better than your vinyl and cd? Have you tried recording vinyl wit...

I was wondering what the noise of stereo signal come into FM and are any ways to reduce it? Naturally we get out stations in mono mode with practically no noise at all. The best tuners more then 85dB signals to noise ratio – that are very high number...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I also have some problem with my T85 Multiplex Decoder to read the REL composite signal. The T85’s decoder read Schwarz’s signal perfectly but it is finicky REL’s signal. I did not figure out yet hat is going on.[/quo...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Well, the T85++ and TU-1X Multiplex decoders do produces a different stereo. [/quote]It was quite phenomenal FM program this weekend in Boston. I was running it mostly off the Sansui tuner and again and again I was stunned...

I was wondering how different would be my audio habits if I “discover” the FM in Boston earlier. I lived in Boston for a few years and did not acknowledge the highly available wonderful word of FM broadcast. I think that if I “FM-wake up” early in th...

Jim thanks for the review and for the tip. I was not familiar with the T-2 model before. I is really interesting what this tuner dose and how unexpectedly musically it performs. I listened today a number of broadcasts from the CDs that I am well fami...

I have found the problem and was able to resolve the noise quandary.
The Lavry ADC has balance analog input and the Sansui has single-ended output. I use my PAD’s Dominus cable with an RCA to XLR adapter. The adaptor was made by BAT and I used it f...
