To clarify my last sentence: if you compared the intercity reception of the two tuners, with the same antenna setup/direction and the Fisher performed better, it’s selectivity must be superior. And, to correct my Grammar, "(if YOU’RE using the same antenna)".
Suggestions Please . . Picky Tuner
I just bought a Parasound t3 tuner to replace a 40 year old Fisher tuner. The sound is improved but there is a curious problem: I have it connected to an attic mounted antenna via coax and it pulls in distant FM stations (50-60 miles away) but struggles to bring in some local stations. For those, there are static sounds and fading in and out. I would think the opposite would occur — get the local stations but not the more distant, as it was with the Fisher. Do you think the tuner needs to be cleaned or is there some other problem? Otherwise, I really like the Parasound and just want to get the local stations clearly as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will read up at the links you posted to try to educate myself. The antenna I have is a Magnum Dynalab ST-2, which is supposed to be pretty good. I think I will first try another location in my attic to mount it and see if that helps. I would mount it outdoors, but I had a bad experience with lightening years ago and want to avoid that happening again. Russ, I’m not sure what a 10db pad is or where I can get one. Can you steer me? |
