I just heard radio again for the first time.

[HiPerf360]

I finally decided to add a tuner to my system so I poked around on audiogon and ebay....

Picked up a Sony ST-SA50ES and it sounds great, I never knew FM sounded this good.

Don’t get me wrong, this is no critical listening source, just pleasantly surprised.

[F1nut]

So, that's what I'm hearing. Could ya turn it down a notch?

[TroyD]

Russ finds 'em from time to time......if you really want to hear something sweet, pick up a vintage tube tuna.

...and after the 5th song you will soon realize that they play the same songs over and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over........

Then you get to switch the stations and listen to X-mas music over and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over........

AaaarrrgghhhHH! :eek:

[HiPerf360]

The problem is I haven't heard anything worth turning up yet.

[Lasareath]

The other problem it is not cd quality

[HiPerf360]

But the best part....

I will have more money in connecting it to the antenna in the attic then the purchase of the tuner.

[HiPerf360]

Refer to the first post....

That too.

Try listening for special broadcasts on Sunday night. That's when the real music comes on. At least 'round here. ;)

[F1nut]

Buzzed another one.

Trying to get out of your own little world?

I dont think you can properly buzz a tower in a van can you?????

;)

[F1nut]

Ask BDT :D

[HiPerf360]

That too.

That is actually why I picke it up.

We have a pretty good blues program on sunday night.

I know NUTTING !

Look for university and public stations. They are all under 92mhz. Anything over that is going to be commercial, overcompressed dreck. A good tuner can sound really good given the right station. Some uni stations still spin vinyl and have a ton of dynamic range. They will not sound "loud" compared to the others, but just give the volume a bump and make sure you get a good signal and the sound can be quite lovely.

[HiPerf360]

All I heard is...

van...F1...BDT...nutt....

????

[F1nut]

360 has a round sense of humor, someone else doesn't.

I didn’t just discover there are radio frequencies out there that my system can turn in to sound...

[F1nut]

Ouch, that's going to leave a mark.

[Yashu]

When I post, I am aware that this is a public forum and the information is for everyone. In this modern day, there are many people that have either never thought about a tuner, or forgot that there are still good non-commercial stations out there beaming out quality music. To be fair, you did not have a tuner until recently, as evidenced by the thread here.

In other words, this is Club Polk, not you guys' personal frathouse. Could you keep that in mind?

[Face]

Jeez, give the guy a break.

[shack]

It's a very fast van....with fake fur seats...

[HiPerf360]

No.

[shack]

I would prefer that it be our own personal sorority house...that would be more fun.

Well Jesse was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel,
He had a blues man in back, and a beautician at the wheel.
He was going downtown in the middle of the night
He was laughing jokin' feelin' alright.
F1 is bad, he's nationwide.
Yes F1's bad, he's nationwide

And with a van like that....



The thought just brought a tear to my eye.

WTF???

You sing to him in the van?

[F1nut]

Jeez, give the guy a break.

Whom would you like broken?

[Yashu]

May a pregnant camel give birth in your listening rooms.

Can I record it and give it to my "friends".

[F1nut]

Shack, you'll pay for that one.....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[TroyD]

Easin' down the highway in a '99 Caravan,
He had a fine fox in front and three more in the back.
They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heel shoes,
They smokin' Lucky Strikes, and wearing nylons too.
'Cause Jesse's bad, he's nationwide.
Yeah he bad, he's nationwide.

Well Jesse was movin' down the road in his V6 Dodge,
He had a shine on his boots, he had his sideburns lowered.
With a New York brim and his gold tooth displayed,
Nobody give him trouble cause they know he got it made.
Jesse's bad, he's nationwide.
Well Jesse's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, he's nationwide

[TroyD]

WTF???

You sing to him in the van?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Yeah, I got nothing.

BDT

[Yashu]

This thread is not worth my time, nevermind.

[TroyD]

I will say that the roofline on the Dalmation-mobile has the same lines (and probably similar in density) to F1's hair.

BDT

[F1nut]

It's legal, so there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to.

Hmmmm...camel farts are bad news, probably peg the meters, not good.

[F1nut]

Ya know BDT, I think you're right. But, I'm bad, I'm nationwide.

[F1nut]

Oh well, sorry for the derail 360. Congrats on your new tuna, enjoy and thanks for playing along.

[TroyD]

Funny stuff...funny stuff..

BDT

[lightman1]

I almost spit coffee on the screen and keyboard reading this!
Mornin'!

[TroyD]

Yeah, well I've had that tune stuck in my freaking head all day.

BDT

[reeltrouble1]

Damm, I missed the early morning bleed feed........looks like F1 buzzed him so low he now has to look up to look down.......inspiring to say the least.

so a little add on verse......

Jesse's coming fast now, gold toothed, locked on, buzz-saw man
the babes are backside laid low, they don't mind the tears in the linen
the pedal is down, all eight rods banging, load your shot fast, do it quick now lad
too late son, your already done, youv'e been snapped, youv'e been had
cuz Jesse's gone international over the border bad..
he's gone now.....over the border internationally bad......


Oh and 360 do enjoy your tuna.

RT1

[Yashu]

Tuna, that always makes me laugh. Sup RT, Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I still can't get the stations i want with my Tuna, I probably need to live higher off the ground... I listen to my favorite station in my car, van, pimp mobile, phat cave, rice rocket, rust bucket, 6 shooter, general lee, green machine, whatever you want to call it... it always amazes me how well the car radio picks up stations compared to a stationary device.

[disneyjoe7]

I think 360 did enjoy his tuna then....

But now he's selling it on ebay ;)

[lightman1]

You can tuna piano but you can't tuna fish....
