As web stations go the station sounds great to me better than XM radio who's quality sucks anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren Goodwin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Hi. I think you may be slightly exagerating your comments. Sure, there's some high end loss but not enough to make the station unlistenable. If you have a decent pair of stereo speakers the sound is quite acceptable. You should also be aware that any new radio station can possibly have teathing problems. I heard a commercial station in Australia in 1980 which came on the air and because their limiter wasn't working properly they had to keep adjusting the sound to compensate. Foor goodness sake, give Jonathan a fair go and remember where some of you got your start in broadcasting. If he hadn't started ACB Radio Interactive some of you people who are so quick to be critical wouldn't be broadcasting today.

I've noticed the *exact* same thing, and I know of 2 or 3 other people who have noticed it too. It's as if there is absolutely no high end on the signal, like an AM radio station might sound, or something like a 24k or 32k mp3 stream may sound. I'm not in any way complaining about this as I explained to Jonathan privately, but I wanted to confirm what Dana is saying here. It's like there's a whole lot of bass, but very little to no high frequencies. Let's hope we can track it down very soon!
