Never mind that nonsense, Tony - I'm still waiting to hear if an FM
signal strength of '55 dBf' as per:

Is reckoned to be 'good' (or 'good enough')...???

(Certainly sounds OK!!)


So it should, how do you think it compares with DAB?...


This is why I queried you not liking vinyl - to me, the comparison
between FM and DAB is very like the comparison between LP and CD. They
both do a similar job differently and they both have their strengths and
weaknesses. (And preferring one doesn't mean I hate the other...)

Bear in mind I mostly use valve amplification and, often as not,
Lowthers - which goes a long way to making DAB sound not too bad at all,
so I'm not going to say FM completely ****es on DAB. It does in the
final analysis, but the DAB can sound very acceptable on my setup.

Also, Classic FM on FM can get a bit much when I'm on the TLS80s (too
much 'wind in the mic') - when I chop to the DAB to 'clean the sound
up', although this is never a problem when I'm on the Lowthers, as they
are too sensible to try and dredge 'usable sound' up from the same muddy
depths!!

Well they do go to town on the processing which has a lot to do with
it;!..


DAB on the handy little Acoustic Solutions FM/DAB set I use is very good
compared to some I have heard and I have somewhat revised my opinions,
but the FM is unfortunately always crap, despite the signal strength
appearing to be quite good when on the main FM aerial!

Anyway, while I'm on, here are some 'aerial' stories you might find
amusing:

Yes know him very well he's often on the TX List group. What he doesn't
know about aerials isn't worth knowing

Pity he didn't do that original FM aerial
