Internet radio stations that sound really good

There are 3 I have found whose sound quality stands out.

Bartok Radio Budapest, classical channel which broadcasts at 256 kbps mp3.

Big Blue Radio, 128 kbps AAC+ laid back classic rock channel. You can get the stream off of Shoutcast.com without having to register with their web site.

Great Radio, 160 kbps mp3. Classic rock that rocks. I can only find them at Shoutcast.com. They sound awfully good for 160 kbps mp3.

I'm a somafm.com fan, more for the unique music selection than anything else. The quality is 128k mp3 which seems to be what the vast majority of internet radio is using.

Obviously 128 mp3 leaves something to be desired on our hi-fi equipment, but I can see how it works fine for the vast majority of casual consumers out there listening on lo-fi Big Box Store stereos.

I wonder when we'll start seeing hi-fi targeted internet radio, streaming at 256k+ or even FLAC? I'd gladly pay a monthly subscription fee to access such a service.
