@hickamore - maybe first temporary pilfer a high quality PC from your main system to try with your FM Tuner to check for a sonic difference, then decide if PC upgrade is warranted.
Upgrade Power Cord for FM Tuner
For those still using FM tuners (I stream also), what would you consider the best value in upgraded power cords? While retubing my vintage MD-108 today (original Sovtek to Northern Electric) I was embarrassed to discover that I had never bothered to upgrade the original crappy cord. Nothing over $500, as this unit is quite long in the tooth and may never be replaced when it dies.

@kennyc That should have been my first move. Found a spare 14 awg AQ cord boxed up with a DAC not in current use. Moving it in tonight for trial. |
I’ve replaced the stock power cords on my DAC, preamp, and CD transport with Supra LoRad 3x2.5 power cords. The replacements for the DAC and preamp made dramatic improvements in SQ. The CD transport was better sounding, but less obvious. They cost <$100 for 1.5 m lengths. They are all plugged into an API Power Wedge, so, that may be important. |
@hickamore, I suggested that three days ago, Did you miss that? |
@pryso Did not miss it, just never played with it while entertaining ideas on cords that might be particularly good matches for my unit. |
