Of course, AM and FM's audio quality both pale in comparison to *TV*
audio, which at least with all-analog broadcast signals, can sound
much better, because there's generally no "loudness wars" on TV. If
you have a stereo TV or VCR hooked up to a good stereo system, you'll
be amazed by just how good it can sound, particularly for music. TV
audio also gives you Dolby Surround Sound from many programs, which is
virtually unheard of on the radio (the closest thing were the few
"Quadraphonic" FM stations in the '70s).
_______________________
As far as TV goes, the music video channels have done exactly what the
major market FM radios have done: dynamically compressed the crap out
of their audio. This wreaks havic on matrix surround decoders such as
Pro-logic, because the phase differential requires significant
amplitude to be effective. So the front-to-surround signals just seem
to "bllllend" together, what I call "Velveeta surround"!
Most stations playing movies, OTOH, arent too bad in that respect, and
PPV blows me away!
