I can, but you're a bit far away. What is it?

It's a Tensai TM2570

That's getting on a bit. Wasn't that one of Akai's trading names?

Looks like a nicely built bit of kit though. Proper dual mono design, screening cans on the transformers etc.

Interesting mirror image PCB design - costly to make two different PCBs which shows attention to detail.

Yep, he's into 70's/80's stuff.
Can't remember what his deck is but it's a work of art

Where are you based?

I'm about 8 miles west of Worcester. Bit of a trek (no pun). There must be a specialist, or an old guy in a shed near you.

DAB - any views?

Since having my little DAB portable in the bedroom, my interest in broadcast radio has been rekindled, but DAB as a hifi source is not something I've looked into.

As FM is probably not long for this world, and there is so much excellent choice via DAB, does anyone have any recommendations for a DAB tuner? OR is internet radio a better choice from an audio quality point of view or are they as bad / good as each other?
