Default DAB bubbling mud advice needed

Well I am DAB less since my Pure Sonus 1 XT stopped working just before
Christmas. I will have to find out how to contact their repair centre, I
guess they must have one? I don't want a new radio as the new ones don't
speak the modes and such.

If anyone has the number pray tell, their web site is completely useless and
if you try to send them a message you have to be sighted it appears.

Crosspost it Ken - it's the only certain way to get a thread started in

What! and get an earful from DABsworth and Philthy Phil?

I was just indulging in a spot of spleen venting at the DAB bashers
trotting out the bubbling mud objections again. I was going to add that
I didn't find the sound quality too objectionable either but I hardly
use it since they took Chill off the Cambridge multiplex and listen to
speech progs mostly anyway so can only judge from casual listening
recently.

In fact the main reason I got one was to listen to Oneword which
vanished soon after.

The tuner is an Acoustic Solutions SP-110

I believe you have its big brother, I got mine as a managers special
for £25 at the local Curries, no box or instructions, dropped and
dented.
So not too much pocket money wasted. It sounds a bit threadbare through
its own outputs but is given quite a lift if I feed the optical through
my Sony Minidisc.

I mostly listen to tradio on Freeview now, being able to program a
weeks listening/viewing via the EPG is super and the sound on both
radio and TV is more than acceptable, nearly on a par with the sound
I was getting from an Arcam Delta 150 NICAM tuner, if memory serves, as
it has been retired to the cupboard for a couple of years now, and is
up for adoption as I don't want to just bin it. I've tried offering it
for free in the local paper, but no takers.
If anyone wants to collect the poor thing from Corby and have superb TV
sound until the great analogue switch off then email me or I'm in the
BT phonebook.
