In Reply to: The rare wonderful FM broadcast posted by elto on March 28, 2007 at 10:55:37:
I've told this story before, but it's worth repeating.I was kind of lukewarm about my system (Advents, much tweaked Pioneer SX-990, Dual 1015 changer with a Shure M91ED--this was maybe 1973). I haapened across a live broadcast, remote from the Oberlin Conservatory. It was breathtaking. I could hardly believe how good it was. It showed me how basically good my receiver and speakers were, how bad my phono system was, and how good FM really could be. It's still my standard for reference.
Happily, we have one good station left here in Cleveland. And yes, a good used tuner is a must; an Onkyo Integra T4087 in my case.

Has anyone else experienced the 180 degree soundstage?
Images out in the room on the plane with your ears? I'm running the Onkyo T-4087 to Dyna PAS3x to Adcom 545 II. I seem to only get the 180 degree effect with KEXP.
Yep, I get it up in Blaine with the rooftop antenna. ADS T-2 tuner, ADS-910 speakers.I listen to 88.5 a lot, too (NPR)
Not me, that's for sure, although I use the same tuner. I wonder if they are doing some extra processing?
