OK this needs to be settled. I've recorded 10 seconds of Kerrang from
DAB, followed by 10 seconds of a MW pop station, both from decent
tuners. As far as I am concerned there is no contest - DAB wins hands
down. Van Gogh would have heard the difference.


The DAB goes to 12kHz, the mw is dying by 4kHz.

Typical of both mediums, I'd say. Both smashing into limiters. And some
two octaves missing at the top end off MW.

Our DAB 'expert' does himself no favours by talking rubbish in among the
snippets of truth.
