My new to me car 2021 mazdaCX30 has DAB the first time I've had a car with DAB. Now I know in my little town we cannot get DAB and with the advent internet radio I think any plans to upgrade our local transmitter, which itself is only a booster transmitter, have long been shelved.
I needed to go to Preston on Saturday which is around 30 mile along the A59 from where I live. I thought I'd try the DAB in the car.
Just as I passed the sign post for leaving my town I got DAB reception for about 5 seconds, half a mile along the road I got reception for about 2 seconds and so it continued, recepti ..read more

I brought a Majority Fitzwilliam3 and connected to my old cyrus amp via analogue output using RCA audio Jacks, which had been working fine with my DAB tuner and CD. Turning on the amp and selecting tuner produced a very loud consistent electronic hum/buzz (when unit both on and off) and no audio output, tho the screen was showing it tuned on both IR and DAB. Using A) headphones and B) a portable speaker through the 3.5 jack on front I got great results. Different amp, same thing. I returned the original DAB tuner to the cyrus and it worked fine so I think the stage is ok. Their tech could not ..read more

Hello
I recently decided that I would like to be woken up by music again. Preferably with my own selected music. So I started looking for an MP3 alarm clock and came across the Ruark R1 MK4, which also has a radio, which wouldn't be necessary for me. However, you can also insert a USB-C stick into the Ruark, which contains the audio files.
You can't then select the tracks, they are played randomly (shuffle). This is also an advantage for waking up, because you are then woken up on different days by different or alternating pieces of music.
I then ordered the Ruark and bought a suitable USB st ..read more

Is the FM radio signal getting worse .... I have an outside aerial at the house but I've also noticed a change and worse inteference / dropouts in the car as well.
I don't know if maybe it's just the radio station I listen to (Wave 105) rather than the whole of FM and I do have access to internet radio in some areas in the house so can use that but it's less convenient than just hitting 1 pretuned button on the remote.
Interested to see if anybody else has noticed any change ..read more

I have the following system:
Arcam T32 tuner (FM and DAB)
Arcam SA30 amplifier
PMC 25 26i speakers
The DAB part of the tuner is inconsistent in that it works sometimes but at other times I get no signal. I suspect that it’s the tuner at fault since I’m in a good reception area with an external roof aerial. I’ve also tried a portable aerial with similar results.
I listen to classical music, mostly through BBC Radio 3 but also via ClassicFM.
I have noticed on the ClassicFM site that they are upgrading their DAB to DAB+ from January. The Arcam T32 seems to be consistent with DAB+ but ..read more
