Ive got a soundfeeder sf120 that bought so I could use my portable CD
player in the car with only a semi-working am/fm tape deck.
What I found was that if I used my walkman into it (playing a tape) I
could get OK sound. If I used the CD player, it majorly distorted the
treble - came right in mono mode, but whats the point of that?!
Also, with it plugged into the headphone out of my 20es amp, it has a
loud hiss constantly. If I change the digital filter thingie, when the
outputs idle between modes for a second it goes quiet. I can only assume
that the output has some signals on it about the audio range that are
screwing with the modulator.
In the end, I opened it up and removed the antenna, and fitted an RCA
jack in its place, then I run a RCA-> TV antenna cable to my 20db gain
antenna amplifier, then to a pair or rabbits ears.
This means that I can use my cheap AM/FM tape walkman to listen to
MD/CD's while mowing the lawn or whatever around the house :) quite
usefull in that situation.
It was useless in the car, constanty needing retuning etc. I would much
prefer it if it was PLL locked etc. If a $20 radio can do it for tuning
then they should be able to do it for transmition.
Ideally I will sort something out or else buy the adaptor thingie so
that I can use the changer input on the back of the sony car cd player.
Dont want to get a MD changer.
