How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???


"(cats out of the bag)"

my friends dynalab 109 tube tuner blows away his turntable front end that costs 4X as much!!!

Can any one explain how a cd or analog turntable at a radio station gets played and sent thru the air and gets
reconstructed at the tuner is the single highest quality
source in hiend two channel reproduction !

that blows me away and I can understand it ?

IMHO tuner highest source than turntable than CD in that order.

I wish somebody told me this before I spend so much money !

what sayest thou ?

i'd say that

your friend needs to upgrade his turntable

and you

should drink a few glasses of water before bed tonight

(it will help your hangover tomorrow morning)
My Mcintosh MR71 sounds fuller and has better bass than my Spacedeck with Shelter 501.
A great tuner is an excellent source, often forgotten in these days of computer audio.
Keep in mind, that radio station may be using DACS that are much, much better than the dacs in your (or your friends CD player) and TT may not be either set up properly or up to snuff. I had a local FM station and when it was up and running, I was amazed at how incredibly good it sounded, even though FM rolls of at, say $15khz?

It was my favotite source at that time. Station sice was hit by lightning and no longer plays Jazz. (Long story-they are now www.purejazzradio.com).
