Non-fee Internet listening, FM stations, etc.
I enjoy listening to FM stations through the Internet. I listen to all kinds of music. I notice some sound terrible. And some not so bad at all. Do you all have suggestions of Internet stations that sound half-way good? I have two: WDCB 90.9 Public Radio from Glen Ellyn, IL and KQAC All Classical from Portland, OR. The programming (WDCB Jazz, KQAC 89.9 Classical) and hosts are excellent. And the sound quality is pretty darn good. I really like, for example Louisville's WFPK 91.9 but the sound quality not good -- is about like AM.
Do you have any favorite feeds (FM stations, etc) outside of the Internet subscription services like Tidal, Qobuz, etc.?
I have what is probably considered a "mid fi" system: SAE Mark 31 amp, Reference Line Preeminence One preamp, Salk WOW 1 speakers. Sources are: Squeezebox Duet into Topping D30 DAC, original Pro-Ject with Denon DL 110; and Marantz 5001 CD player. Anticable interconnects and speaker wire. In some cases, the sound quality from WDCB and KQAC is just about as good as what I get out of my LPs and CDs.

Radio Paradise is a non-commercial listener-supported Internet radio station that helped to redefine the radio station for the internet era.[1] It is known for high quality audio streams and curated playlists.[2] The station is based in the United States but has a significant international audience,[3] with many of the songs and station greetings on its "world" stream in multiple languages. The station is known familiarly as "RP". As of 2020, RP has four curated playlists:[2] Rock Mix, emphasizing modern and classic rock; World/Etc Mix, emphasizing world and electronic music; Mellow Mix, emphasizing songs with a more relaxing tone; and Main Mix, combining the three. A little jazz and classical music is sometimes heard as well. Detailed information about the playlists is available on the website but they can only be listened to live on the stream. There is limited DJ commentary, with sets that can go on for hours without interruption. |
