Heh heh - thanks for quoting it when he's got the doubtful accolade of
being the only one in the whole world in my killfile.;-)

speech on ClassicFM! The very opposite of what one would expect.

N.B. I am also trying a different pair of speakers, replacing my own
Goodmans Wharfedales by a pair of ATL 705 Pro's.
It has made not the slightest difference to the core problem.

And have you another source -
like CD - to try through the same amp/speaker combination?

Tried that; CD music is excellent - but I don't have any with speech.

Interestingly, I listened also to Radio 3, and found the presenter's live
speech was fine, as was the music...

As I said earlier, with ClassicFM the music is fine, as are also the
pre-recorded commercials; it's just that what I take to be the live mic.
feed that distorts dreadfully - low and muffled, with a little hiss.

I guess the time is appoaching to look look for a different receiver to
try. (This one is a 4-year-old JVC RX-6010RBK.)

Just had a listen and whilst its not first class audio didn't sound
quite as bad as your describing. Do you know what transmitter your
using?...

Sounds like some sort of crosstalk or phase problem. The announcer will be
in mono while the music will be in stereo. If you take two channels of the
same mono and invert the phase of one, you'll get near absolute
cancellation of the signal. If you attenuate one or the other only part
cancellation. Stereo may appear at first to be less effected, depending on
content, since the two channels ain't identical.

If an external source like a CD is fine, I'd *guess* at a problem with the
multiplex decoder in the FM tuner.

Only recently arrived in Farnham/Hindhead area, so haven't found out yet...

There is an another amplifier I can try; just need to get hold of
another tuner...

Well, I realised my Pure DAB digital radio had a 'stereo out' socket so
connected it as a tuner to a free input on my JVC receiver.

Result: Everything perfect!

At first I asssumed this proved that there was a problem with the VHF
tuner section of the receiver, but then the possibility came to mind
that perhaps the digital radio signals here are much stronger than
the VHF.
(However, according to the DAB web site we shouldn't be receiving
digital radio at all in this post-code area. But we do - in any part of
the house, although a few miles away in Farnham there is a problem.)

Either way, I'm happy that we can now listen to ClassicFM distortion free
on the HiFi, even though we still don't know what the problem was...

(Next step is to try the receiver back in its previous home, to see if it
now has a problem there.)
