Radio- the ultimate convenience source

Posted by: bdnyc on 17 January 2002

I recently had a mid winter run in with the flu which allowed me the chance to wallow around like a green house cat. This was one of those "weekends" where a big activity was going upstairs for some tea in between naps... What I discovered that has some semblance of relevence to you folks was what a great resource a good tuner was. I left my NAT 01 dialed to my favorite local station, WFUV-FM in NY 90.7 (or on the web at WFUV.ORG. for those of you in the UK) and simply enjoyed the varied music all day long. The tuner is something I had appreciated before, but since my life is more hectic than I would prefer, I often listen to CD's or LP's more than the radio when I am in the mood for tunes. What this proved to me was how utterly natural the Naim tuners are. It was great to hear a full day of music; cool new songs, old musty favorites, and all the rest.

So, while the flu meant my coworkers had a bit more work, I got a chance to listen to music all day. Seems like a good idea, if I could figure out how to do it more often...

"She who must be obeyed"?...wise man;) I agree regarding "ext. cord" vs. "wiremold dedicated circuit". I've done the a/b also with various source gear and found the dedicated circuit most important in my AC line tweaks. Oddly enough, in my setup, snipping off the AC plug and hardwiring (soldering) the wiremold cord to the circuit mains made as big an improvement (though different) from my wiremold/AC plug hierarchy itself.
