Public radio stations sound fantastic. Mainstream Rock or whatever still compress everything to death. I swear a station the next town over adds reverb to their content.
Why does FM radio sound so good?
I have always compared my systems over the years to FM rock, etc, and, until lately, was always disappointed that I did not have that sound, even in the car. What is the history of station playback equipment at FM stations? I suppose it's all streamed or files now, but didn't they use single-song tapes awhile back?
