You can quite plainly hear the gritty digital sound on mono stations
like talk sport and lbc, the medium wave relay, not so much the fm
relay on dab.

Also, some of the mono stations which carry music are sounding
decidedly naff. bbc 7 is still in mono it appears and increasingly so
is r4. These obviously prove the fact that bandwidth is a problem.
they obviously did not take heed of that universal law about junk
expanding to fill any vacant space. Its as true with data and
bandwidth, unfortunately.

Perhaps a confusion between *data* 'bandwidth' and *frequency* 'bandwidth'
lead to some mistaken deductions at an earlier point... Shame that when
'digital' met 'audio' many terms - e.g. 'bandwidth' and 'compression' -
that had quite different meanings came together.

Slainte,
