@yyzsantabarbara The station that I love to listen to has an emphasis on high quality source material (when possible) The DJ’s bring in vinyl when they can because they say it sounds better.
Nice! Yep, and when it occurs, you can sense it - something more engaging about the sound and music - and it’s noticeable right away. I was sharing with a few friends how I still very much enjoy my MD FM tuner periodically, on late nights. They think Im silly. Hard to explain to anyone who’s never really heard it first hand. Sure helps to have a great tuner and good FM antenna to lock it in. 👍
Some times I’ll swap over to streaming the same track on 16/44 lossless, and while its more clear, it may not always have the "alive" vibe type of sound as it does with good FM sometimes. Like you said, the few Radio DJs that play vinyl periodically.
