Where do you live? I grew up in Massachusetts and there was a problem with a certain station that for whatever reason bled through on almost all FM radios whether car, home, hifi. It was WFCR if memory serves. It could be heard whenever the tuner was in a position with no signal or when you tried to listen to a far away station. The problem still exists to this day. Maybe someone at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology could explain why.
Low level Tuner Signal Bleed Through?
OK Guys, need some help with some strange happenings. I'm using a MD102 Dynalab with the ST-2 antenna (Exterior mounted) through a Pass X1 via Tara "The One" balanced cables and Floating Ground station.
When the Tuner power is switched to the off position, I still get a low level signal coming across my system, if the pre's input's are set to the tuner. It's not evident, unless I turn the gain up about 20db, but it's quite clear at that point and brings in whatever station I'm tuned in to.
Also puzzling and perhaps unrelated, switching the MD102's Antenna switch from "Ant. #1" to "Ant. #2" does not effect the signal very much at all whether power is on or off.
Now... I was also hit by multiple power outages and "brownouts" about a week ago and my pre is always on. I honestly don't know if I had the tuner phenomenom before that, but I'm also wondering if I fried something. I should note that no lighting was involved so I know my antenna was not hit.
Do I have a tuner or pre-problem? Or is something else at work here? (Maybe the floating ground on my cable, or lack of shielding somewhere?
Heeeeelp. (Especially if you have a MD102, X1, or both.)
