The signals are much stronger, and the back ground noise is much lower as well. And needless to say, listening to FM frequencies isn't as unpleasant now. Voices are more natural sounding and it's a little more musical too.
Of course it still isn't as musical as an LP12...but what is? Cheers
You may need a Kremlin with a live broadcast for that ;-)
I am fortunate enough to have that. WRCJ in Detroit does live broadcasts of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, at least they did until recently (and will again once concerts start back up). It does sound quite good, but I'm still not sure if it is LP12 good. I'll have to give it a go once concerts are back up and running. Meanwhile the classical during the day and jazz at night are quite enjoyable.
I also have to try and tune in some Canadian stations. A friend/customer of mine there has informed me that there are a few Canadian stations that are spinning vinyl again, usually on Friday or Saturday nights. Sounds like fun to me and a trend I hope catches on.
I think it's a different listening experience Thomas .Would you listen to an LP differently if you were told you were only allowed to listen to it once.
As far as LP 12 Vs tuner is concerned I felt live broadcasts were the best way to listen to live classical music at home compared to recorded eg vinyl /cd/flac etc.Although I have read Klimax DS is better.
Radio 3s live recordings also sounded extremely good.
Small combos in the studio also had a really exhilarating sound/experience for me ,even on radio 2.
There is nothing like it when you tune into a station and they announce a couple of musicians you really admire have just come into the studio and are going to play live for us now.A combo that springs to mind was Nitin Sawney and Ravi Shankar's daughter ,that's Anouska not Norah Jones 😁.The set was so good after they finished,I tweeted NS to say I thoroughly enjoyed that ,to which I got an almost immediate thanks Leo . Never get that buzz with an Lp12 😎
