I would base it on a comparison of audio tapes to CD's. That's how much difference there is between those two, at least to me. That's because, after all, FM is only a 15khz audio signal, whereas thec compact disc spec goes up to 20khz. Ditto the dynamic range factor--well over 90dB with CD's; less than 80dB with FM radio, even with the best, least-obnoxious signal processing. Remember, 10dB difference is really 100 times difference because your ears are logarithmic, not linear. That's why linear volume controls don't seem to have much affect at certain points in their travel from softest to loudest. ...
