I fed my RCA 26" (from 1995) stereo tv variable line outputs into my computer soundcard a few years ago to capture two songs from the Burt Bacharach special that came on TNT (Turner Network TV.) The sound was outstanding !!! I was very suprised. I'm not sure if TNT always has good audio? I know that VH1 and MTV have terrible audio.
Television as source component
Most modern TVs have a line level source output. I am running my basic Toshiba set into my two-channel system with more or less satisfying results (depending in large part upon braodcast quality, of course), but I'm curious.
Has anyone ever undertaken to analyze the quality of various TV sets as stereo source components? Are there any brands/models that are truly superior?
Related question for those who do listen to their TV through a 2 channel rig: What shows/networks have you found to have the highest quality audio?
