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.?

Well here I am 5 days later and I guess my Polk has burned in;some.For me content wins out over quality. (I can't believe I just said that.) I guess I have gotten over the shock of down-rezz-ing for xm. Altho I can say it does sound so much better with more time on it. The classical stations just play all the great stuff. (Unlike cable's MC) I am truly a satellite music junkie.--And have been for pretty much 20 years.-- It has been my staple,all that time. I will be keeping my xm box.
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.
