    Default Why can I hear the fm tuner when cd is selected?

    I’ve had this on a couple of integrated amps in the past and I’ve just heard it again.
    I turned the amp on this morning which had the source selector switch on CD and yet as I turned it up I could hear the music coming from the fm tuner .
    What causes that ?

    A bit of breakthrough somewhere in the pre-amp stage? Cable screening not too effective? Could try moving interconnects apart or try different ones.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Very strange.

    I used to have a record player which would sometimes pick up snippets from nearby taxis. Maybe you'll just have to keep the tuner switched off when not in use. Not very helpful I know.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Crosstalk between the inputs. What’s the amplifier?

    The easiest solution is to switch the tuner off!

    I get this with my vintage Pioneer receiver, unfortunately being a receiver I can't physically turn off the tuner section.
    It does my head in

    I did read about removing the centre wire from the coaxial, I just changed the tuner and then the issue stopped.
