Where is WPEP out of?   I was referring to QED 89.3.

WYEP is the sister station of WESA (formerly WDUQ at 90.5) and is at 91.3 on the FM dial.  They play a very eclectic assortment of music.  No compression.

WQED is another great station and has secondary HD channels (WYEP does not).  WESA is now mostly news/talk, but has a secondary HD channel that plays Jazz.
Mac stuff, Sony HDR-F1HD AM/FM/HD tuner, Denon DRS 810 cassette, Denon CDR-W1500 CD recorder, Music Hall MMF-9 w/B&O MMC2, B & O 4002 w/B & O 20 CL, Revox A-77

I love WYEP.   You wrote WPEP.   Since the discussion was classical, I thought maybe there was some low power college station playing classical.

WQED FM HD-1 is the same programming as analog WQED but is on their hybrid digital channel 1. WQED FM HD-2 is their hybrid digital channel 2 and all programming is the Pittsburgh Symphony Orch. Both channels have excellent classical programming. There are also a couple classical channels on Comcast Music Choice.

My Scott LT-110 tubed tuner is being rebuilt and alligned right now. No doubt a dumb investment, but it is the mate to my 222c amp and will sound so nice.

I've never heard a Scott tube tuner, but they sure are pretty.

Sounds like your priorities are right to me.

Not exactly hifi, but hoping to retube my Mesa Boogie guitar amplifier after the new year.  6L6/12ax7 based amp

I WILL design and build a new, electrically-segmented ESL speaker this year.  It will have wood-lattice supported insulated copper wire stators.  It will have narrow and wide dispersion modes.  It will be visually stunning.
