![]() I don’t think the Sleuth helps me since I am around mountains. I have a Magnum Dynalab Signal Sleuth and the MD indoor antenna for the MD102. ![]() This station is my last lifeline to radio. While it only takes a few seconds (even faster if you mute the other strings with your fingers and use the 12th fret harmonic), it isnt jaw-droppingly quick like similar offerings from KORG and TC Electronic. Almost all my new Tidal album additions are from music I heard on KCRW. Of all the pedal tuners we tested, the DT-1 is the slowest to lock on to a note. They seem to not have the auto-tune crap. When playing a video on YouTube, the Drac audio tune does not work at first, after stopping the video and playing it, it works. And within a few days, your ears will have adjusted, and. With Covid all the DJ’s and programming is messed up. So ultimately, the PT-100 provides a basketload of virtues for only the slightest veiling of the sound. Like Arcam, Cambridge Audio has plenty of previous experience with DAB tuners, with two older models (the DAB300 and DAB500) still included in its catalogue. There was a French DJ playing at midnight on Fridays I think and he had the amazing music from Africa. My favorite music these days seems to come out of Africa. It a bit of Deja vu listening to KCRW since growing up in Toronto, back in the 70’s and 80’s, stations allowed the DJ’s to have more say in what got played. Sometimes the DJ’s bring in vinyl because they think it sounds better (mostly the male DJ’s). On the FM band you hear the DJ’s select and play whatever they feel like that day. The HD radio broadcast is 24 hours of music a day but it is not as good as the FM band selections. The JBL Tuner 2 is a very portable and impressively rugged DAB/FM radio that also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. they are that good after, refresh and alignment of course they are 35+ years old KCRW broadcasts on 2 bands, FM and HD radio. ![]() I’d put my Sansui up against any Dynalab tuner sub $2000. Tuner Information Center - Vintage Stereo Tuners () is a wealth of information. check out the Sansui TU-X1 for example of one of the best tuners ever made, IMO of course. all made some supper tuners that are better then almost anything made today. These older high end tuners are very well made, right in the height of FM radio, there are many too choose from as well that would fit the bill. all in I’ve got $600 into it and the sound is very good top to bottom, very enjoyable toe tappingly good sound, and it receives very well (I’m 80km from the antenna and get a full strength signal, using a Dynalab wip antenna). I’ve been very happy listening to the NPR Jazz radio here in the north west on an updated (refreshed, recapped etc) Sansui Tuner from the late 70’s (TU 717).
