Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great

To some degree, it’s a matter of taste. One persons great car stereo doesn’t sound so great to another. It has been my experience that I’ve heard some systems that we’re reputed to be wonderful and not like them. Reversed isn’t quite as true, but I imagine that listening as close to back to back the different systems would make it clear what you prefer.

were reputed to be wonderful and not like them. The reverse isn’t quite as true, but I imagine that listening as close to back to back to the different systems would make it clear what you prefer.

I Also endorse the downloading from streaming sites versus getting things through the phone plan.

Sirius streams @ about 40kbps. Lifeless as in dead.

OK for talk radio only like AM.

The rest of your sys is probably fine for road use.

Sirius is still gonna sound bad on the best stuff money can buy.

There is one exception. The symphony channel on Sirius is much less compressed and doesn’t sound too bad.
 

Thanks, @reubent, I should have been more clear in my caution about the potential cost of streaming while in the car. I was referring to streaming from services like Tidal, Apple Music or Spotify which would be streamed through your cellular connection. Sirius is a subscription satellite feed so that isn't an issue.

@sfar  - I understood that you were referring to streaming over a cellular connection. That is why I suggested downloading the content to the phone, instead of streaming from the cellular connection. You can download hours of cached content from Radio Paradise onto your mobile device and stream it via bluetooth or AUX connection to your car system. Same with Spotify and likely all of the other streaming services.
