Crosspost it Ken - it's the only certain way to get a thread started in
ukra, these days....

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



Ignore 'em....


The tuner is an Acoustic Solutions SP-110

I believe you have its big brother,


Looks the same as mine, so I don't know about it being its 'big brother -
perhaps they take the SP111s and hit them with a stick?


I got mine as a managers special
for £25 at the local Curries, no box or instructions, dropped and
dented.


There you are then!! :-)



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.


My DAB is on all day and every day as 'sonic wallpaper' and it feeds into a
Denon amp on a pair of the utterly remarkable 'Cyburg's Needles':

....which I think help no end, but I would say it sounds absolutely
'digital' - fine, mostly troublefree and possibly a little bland on CFM
during the day, but it can sound very nice at low volume, late at night and
R3 is always better if you can catch them actually playing a bit of
music....

Yesterday I was listening to some very nice Duparc (Chanson Triste) and
needed to shift camp, so moved onto my FM setup and was a little dismayed at
the hiss for a few moments until I was able to 'tune it out'....
