Post Subject: "...trash most of LPs and CDs"?Posted by Paul S on: 8/17/2008
OK, I get that FM does a wonderful job cutting noise and creating a sense of "space", but my limited experience so far suggets that these wonderful effects are at least partly due to iron-fisted bandwidth and dynamic filtering/limiting, and perhaps some phase abberations that are peculiar to FM.

While I have been wrestling with the generic issue of noise more than ever, and I LOVE even the Sound of the live music broadcasts, I have yet to think of FM as supplanting good CDs, let alone good LPs, with respect to sonics.

Has it really changed so much for the better, technically (with so many more stations on the dial), or are we still really talking about musical content/programming?

Best regards,
Paul S
