Post Subject: Bad Programming Sounds Bad to MePosted by Paul S on: 4/19/2014

As with the "audiophile" recordings, it is often difficult for me to separate the sound, per se, from "the way it sounds to me", in terms of content. Also, IMO, even the best "sound" cannot rescue a poor score/performance/recording/mix/processing/compression/ad nauseum, although I will grant that the "old" analog FM could - somehow - sound good despite massive compression, with amazing "ambience" that might keep things more interesting - provided there was actually something worth listening to in the program. I do sometimes catch a good performance of a worthy piece on KSDS late at night; but then I am listening via my little Kato radio and ridiculously poor headphones, so... I would certainly listen a lot more if I enjoyed the programming, regardless of sound quality. But then, I would probably start bitching about sound quality...

Best regards,
Paul
