I only listen to radio stations in the office on a Sonos system. The sound quality of most FM station is good enough. The music I really like is never played on the radio. If you are going to drink wine it might as well be the good stuff.
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.
