Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System

A good FM signal and station sounds pretty good. Streaming on the other hand is subject to whatever quality the "station" streams and the quality of the source it uses. 

I have FM tuners, a FM-HD tuner, and streaming radio. I only listen to the FM. The other 2 are like CD vs MP3 to my ears.

Radio Paradise delivers the good - FLAC quality streaming with no commercials.  I generally don't stream any "radio" sources for "critical listening", more for background music, but the sound quality of Radio Paradise certainly holds up for "critical listening".

I listen to a nice FM tuner (Magnum Dynalabs etude) all day while working, to a good quality NPR jazz station.  Sound quality is also excellent, but most of the time it is background music.

There are a number of lists of CD quality internet radio stations.  This looks like a good one - CD Quality Internet Radio - High Resolution Audio (hiresaudio.online)

I have a Mac MR-80 tuner and also stream audio with a Bryston BDP-3. As with so many things, quality depends on the source. There are great sounding stations on FM (though not like what once was) as well as on the Internet. There are bad examples, too.

@big_greg  nice article and list.  Thanks.
