In Reply to: Noise, even on a strong station: Update posted by FidPup on June 13, 2012 at 09:59:53:
I have exactly the same problem. I listened to an NPR station for the excellent jazz programing for about a year or so and then started getting a hiss. The only way to defeat it was to listen in mono. My tuner is also an Etude that I had recently bought from Magnum Dynalab refurbished so I figured it was good. I checked with other tuners and got the same noise. The antenna is a directional one attached to the chimney and I checked all the connections and grounding. I then bought a Signal Slueth which increased the signal strength but did not get rid of the noise. I have often wondered if an MD 102 would get rid of the noise but I am reluctant to put the money into it only to find out it is noisy as well. I know this station has HD and can only assume it is causing the problem. I am basically about ready to sell the tuner because I don't use it any more. It is very disappointing because I really was enjoying it before the noise showed up. Hope you have better luck than me!
