Survey-What is your most used source?


Just curious, what is your most used source: CD, tuner, cassette, LP, dish...?

I purchased a tuner about six months ago, I hadn't used one in my system in well over 10 years. It is easily now my most used source.

Model: Fanfare FT-1A

0% Tuner it's broken!!!

Was 100% vinyl but recently I've wanted to listen to music that I only have on CDs.
No CD or turntable in my systems only a Sonos zone players for internet radio and to read my music server that's it. Different systems around the house tubes, solid state class "A" "AB & "D" amps all controlled via zone players. All zone players connected to DAC's feeding the amps.
#1 Small Dish receiver. XM and Sirius feeds. This when I do housework, work in the yard or over Christmas for the holiday feeds.
Same receiver feeds TV audio thru the same system.

#2 CD player. This also acts as a DAC from the DVD and Small Dish receiver.

#3 DVD 'universal' player. just for movies. Audio portion thru DAC.

#4 Airport Express streaming ALAC files from confuser.....again thru the DAC.
24 and 7 - various FM tuners win out both at home and in vehicles (I have two Tandberg 3011A tuners - one for my main system and another for a six zone home system). We have a handful of good local FM stations including Jones College out of JAX FL. I simply don't want to download or buy every piece of music I enjoy - and enjoy catching them randomly on FM.

Towards evenings or off-days in a more leisurely mode, I prefer SACD, DVD-A, HDCD disks and soon, Blu-Ray Audio. After much effort and luck setting-up my system, redbooks are getting much more "air time".
