Err, you seem to have a very good tuner, or somewhat different conditions.
FM Radio in Germany is awfully compressed (as junk CDs) to sound acceptable
even on the smallest piece of junk-fi, and the rare good stations that do
not play the usual brainwash-pop-junk up and down, or at least select very
well from it, suffer from noise-levels up to my waist. Classical music via
radio & headphones? Unbearable. At least over antenna and cable. I am
thinking about getting digital satellite radio since they took BBC World ou=
t
of my cable. That could be recorded to the Mac, but the signal is also far
below CD quality, but it should beat FM by far.
in junkmode,
Oliver :)
