The very best station on Sirius/XM really destroys the beautiful melodious sounds and overtones coming from the banjo. It gives it a watery metal sound. However that does not stop me from listening to it. It is really all about the content. That's why I can enjoy bluegrass on my iphone or XM radio. Nothing coming close to listening live music when you are surrounded by other pickers. So you do not have to bother with finding the perfect speaker or stereo. They can never reproduce what you hear live. Same thing with radio. It is all about the content. This is one reason we enjoy CW so much. The tone sounds like you are in presence of the sending cw operator coming out of our receivers. It only has to reproduce one tone, it's fairly narrow and it sounds live. Jim K9YC I am sure you have good term for this. I don't know what the phenomena is called. Maybe if the speaker was shaped like a banjo that would be a good place to start to reproduce its sound however, then you need another one shaped like a dobro and so on. Not really practical.
73, Dan KM6CQ *Don't sacrifice your hobby for the right house.* I occasionally car pool to ham events with a neighbor in his high end VW. He bought the satellite service, and we sometimes listen to it. It drops out with foliage and under overpasses. Sound quality is so bad that it's hard to listen to any form of acoustic music. Perhaps too much data compression, made worse by any problems with the signal path. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
