Hi,
I have a Denon analogue tuner and an an old (but excellent) AR amp. I have
acquired a Sony XDL 40W3000 LCD TV and a Sony HDR with Freeview which I can
play though the amp. Both the later of course give digital radio reception.
My question is which one(s) to go for in terms of quality for listening to
the radio (particularly classical music)

Thanks
Gordon


The Freeview radio will be better quality than the FM, particularly
for classical (R3?). The digital source is not compressed (dynamics,
not data) and is a much more realistic version of the original than
the FM, which unfortunately has to go through a signal processor
before it gets to the transmitter.

All that assumes you have good clear FM reception of course. If you
live in an area with multipath, then FM will be further degraded.
