Does anyone have Magnum XM tuners?


Hello to all,

This will be a two part post...second to follow. If anyone out there has one of the Magnum XM tuners...can you share your thoughts on the sonics..etc.?
whatjd
Av...you're right, the Polk is better with 200+ hours on it. I listen to the Jazz stations and 70 through 73 are either not compressed or compressed less than some of the others.....the "decade" stations 4 through 9 suck big time.
I'm really impressed w/ 110 and 113 as a classical guy. They just play great stuff all the time.--Meaning I'm not changing stations all the time.
Next thing I will be looking for is a tiny tv; say 7 (or so)in diag. screen. I have a knee that ain't so hot---Ok,ok, I was lazy before the knee problem but the box is to far away and the display is small. Any ideas??
Avguygeorge, I use a cheap Chinese 7" Color LCD for my XM display. Got it off eBay, was going to use it for a backup view for my truck/trailer, but never bothered with that, so I use it to see whats playing on the XM while i'm on the computer (can't read the Polk display from across room).

Also, If you like modern Jazz - Channel 71 "Watercolors" has better fidelity than 113 classical. I also like 110 and 113, but fidelity suffers a little.
Yes, I have ordered the Casio--- (whatever the # is) It has a composite-in and the ac adaptor. Tiny screen but should do the thing.
I hate to whine about things only the XM-Gods can answer but WHY so little info??--jeez you never which orchestra or soloist is playing.---I can't remember if Directv's XM stations give all the info??---(From above, I stated I did have xm via D*...about 18months ago.)
Well that DMX-Radio thing I had near 20 years ago had wireless remote w/ readout screen. They even told you who wrote the songs, say for rock,country, etc.
I got DirecTV HD with 50+ XM stations in my package. I pass the digital out of my receiver via TOSLINK to a Meridian 518 (switching all my digital sources) and then S/PDIF to my Museatex Melior DAC. Sounds as good as a compressed source is going to be for me - especially since all I had to do is run the TOSLINK to my 518. If I want to see what's playing, I just look up at my flatscreen TV. 4k for the Magnum? LOL - if I want to roll tubes I'll hook up my CAL Alpha. If I want to "massage sound" I can play with the DSP functions on the Meridian.
