HDRadio.com shows two streams from that station :-(.
89.7 right?
yep, I guess you are correct. 89.7, KCNV. So it could be HD hiss, although none of my other 3 vintage tuners have any hiss at all, although the FM-3 had about the same amount of hiss until I fixed it with the "rca jack grounding upgrade" and a replacement rectifier tube.
For fun I am trying this thing. I will put two 9 volt batteries in series to get 18 volts.
It will be interesting experiment. And cheap enough.
If this DNR does not work out, I will try aligning the tuner.
Not sure of the overall sound quality yet. I was testing with an almost dead 20 year old walkman type player in case there was a flaw in the board or my wiring.
It definitely changes the sound as I adjust the pots. Sounds very compressed and lack of dynamics and bass when pots are at max, and not much change if any to the sound when pots are at minimum.
So next I will try with a quality source and see how it sounds. I will need to pull my Scott 112B out of storage to check the hiss reduction and sound quality.
