RE: Here's A More Direct Source

"Well then you must be listening to classical on stations with analog equipment and no bunch of digital crap embedded. "

There are a couple of radio stations where I live (Rochester, NY) that have pretty good sound:

90.5 (Mostly alternative, a community college station)
88.5 (Uni radio with eclectic programming)
91.5 (Our NPR station that is classical in the afternoon)

I do like some of the HD stations in the car. There is one that was on for a couple years that was nonstop commercial free announcer free Blues. Went off the air then - though it was compressed (though not obviously so) it was terrific content.

The older I get, it tends to be more about content than sound.

Siruis/XM is atrocious for sound quality where I am. When we were on our family vacation driving through Ohio, the sound quality was noticeably better (though still not good). Weird. Wonder if it is terrestrial transmitters there, that we don't have in Western NY because of our proximity to Canada? No idea.
