FM Stereo has always been limited in practice to 15kHz as you know :-) Sounds very nice - like an LP thats been played a few times... I'm always more concerned with the mid-range (where the magic is)! As for the infamous compression... I don't listen to local radio or Radio 1, 2 is compressed but not in a disastrous way, 3 is fine as is 4. The fact that the BBC uses a 13-bit digital protocol to get signal to its transmitters is a "bit" misleading :-) The NICAM method of companding effectively gives it more like a 14/15 bit range - just like those early top-end CD players. With a good aerial, SNR should be 60-65 dB - same as good, new vinyl or top-end cassette. Anyway, regardless of the technology, the actual "sound" of a live concert can be entrancing at times on 3. To me that just reinforces the view that there's more to enjoyment than dynamic range, SNR, freq response etc. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
