(I'd trade hiss for LP's defects anyday)


I use a software from MAGiX to remove most of the hiss
from tapes. It could
also remove most of the pops, clicks and scratches from
LPs. If I remember
correctly dbx is pretty good in removing much of the hiss
if you have that
feature on your tape deck.

The analog laser turntable from Japan would remove all the
LP defects that
you would have form a conventional turntable.

I heard said turntable at HE2005. It sounded good, but it
did not remove all of the audible defects of the LP format.
It's an archivists' tool.

it's
hard to get a clean FM signal these days without some
compression or fading and so on(especially if you are
in a hilly area)

That must depend on what country you live in.

I'm not sure that radio is that geopolitically aware.

US radio certainly isn't.

Where are the dbts?

For so much money that I could set up a small home recording
studio. Or buy a small car. No thanks.

Not to worry, O'Blather. It's not being marketed to the likes of you. Why
would you even consider buying a $20,000 turntable if you can't afford it?
Or more to the point, why do you have to remind us it's beyond your means?
You don't see the rest of us whining about what we can't afford. (Except for
Krooger, but of course Arnii is one of Them, not one of us.)

No, but regulation, funding, and service is.

As I understand it, a high-quality radio tuner needs a 200 micro-volt aerial
signal to achieve a 60db signal-to-noise ratio. I also understand that in
the UK, BBC FM radio transmittters and repeaters are sited to deliver a 300
microvolt aerial signal within the service area, based on a two-element
aerial at a height of 10 metres above ground, with 15 metres of co-ax
downlead.

The stated service coverage is 98% for stereo reception, 100% for mono. I
wouldn't describe that as "hard to get".

For anyone interested, here's a list of BBC transmitters

Sure, but how many people have such an antenna installation? Very few
indeed. Most people have the twinax dipole that came with the tuner
coiled up on the floor behind the rest of the hi fi. If they are
really keen, they may have stretched it out.

Good grief. An Merkin ****** posting from his trailer home to a uk group.
Nice to see you George M. In the UK most would spend their money on
important things.
