| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions Great suggestions! You folks really have a lot of good ideas. In addition to the freebie Pioneer (thanks again!), I really like the looks of the refurbed Dynalab, the Galaxy, and the Teac... The Dynalab is probably the most "upscale" but they... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @russ69 Good tip on the Green Valley station... do you know the station #? GV is just south of Tusc, and I'll be, if I move there, north in Oro Valley, but it's not that far so I bet a half-decent tuner, like that Pioneer I've been offered, w... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @ghdprentice It’s getting hot all over the SW, though... and Tucson is better off than PHX or Vegas for water, as T gets more rain and still has enough aquifers to last my lifetime, anyway, and it’s substantially cooler than PHX too. I might con... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @tablejockey thank you for the Sony receiver suggestion, it’s a good one, amazing for the money really... I actually have that exact model of Sony receiver up at my Minnesota lake cabin, playing a Pandora shuffle over an old iphone and cds via a... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions There are many available over the air where I live, and streaming is an option but as I state I'd like to have the option to tune in over the air as well. When I had a tuner I found myself frequently just hitting "on" and enjoying it all day long... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @curiousjim Heck yeah, why not? It’d get me started at the very least...! OK, I think I sent you a message about it. Thank you very much! | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions I’m in an urban area, currently Pasadena, CA. KUSC over the air would be nice. Might be moving to Tucson, AZ area within a couple years, so still relatively urban/suburban and I imagine Univ of AZ has a decent classical station... I think I'm le... | |
| Marantz Ruby PM KI amp vs Accuphase e-480 or e-380 I have my new Ruby connected to my older Pinnacle Baby Boomer powered subwoofer. So far I have no issues whatsoever. The Baby Boomer has left and right speaker level in lines and then lines back out to the speakers themselves. I too was concern... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding And as for Zappa... yeah, well... maybe I'm a turnip. I do like some of his tracks but after a while ... I saw him in concert once and what a yawn fest. People were getting up and just leaving early... I stuck it out to the end, but reluctantl... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding I'm also not a big fan of Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town... yeah, a few great tracks but when I put it on I want to take it off before hearing the whole thing. I much prefer Born To Run and Wild, Innocent, E-street Shuffle albums, wi... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters ok... I'll restrain myself here except to say LOL | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @soix Ad hominem much? By your stridency, I do believe I’ve struck a cord... er, chord. 😉 Yes, fine, you and some others have experienced "significant improvements" in the sound of your system by buying expensive cords... great. Enjoy. Experi... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @ghdprentice @soix etc. Thanks for the welcome, but it’s misplaced. It's far from early in my journey... But thank you anyway. Yes, indeed, ears as arbiter I understand very well. I also understand confirmation bias. But if spending even ... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @soix I'm not missing the fact that an expensive power cord adds to cost. I am extremely skeptical that the power cord supplied with a Marantz Ruby, to continue the example, is a detriment at all to its audible performance. Hey, if it makes on... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @boxer12 - Color me deeply skeptical. I don't believe those companies, or any mid to high enders, would scrimp on the power cord if such a scrimp degraded sound quality, especially of their top models but really mostly through the line. Certa... |
