So I’ve owned this Troughline for at least six years and, during that time (and for a variety of reasons I won't bore anyone with) all it’s done is sit on a shelf and look pretty. I finally got around to setting it up for a listen a week ago and it sounds amazing. It's not like I haven't heard Troughlines before either – I've owned four in total, my first came with an early external decoder from One Thing Audio and sounded pretty decent as I recall.
This one though has had an internal stereo decoder fitting with some quite extensive modifications. The signal strength is amazing, way better than the unmodded mono version I also have (which is all the more remarkable given that it’s just plugged into an old rooftop tv aerial).
I’d love to know if anyone has any idea who might’ve done the work. I know nothing about it. I don’t even really recall where I bought it from - eBay most likely, probably after a few drinks (the 1am virus claims another victim!) As I say, it was a good few years ago and I've had more pressing things to deal with in that time than old radios, but whoever did the work certainly knew what they were about.
