Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System


How do you guys feel about playing internet radio through your highly invested two channel analog system? You spend all that time and money to get the synergy right and too play internet radio? I'm just curious!

I have only tried a couple internet radio stations, but so far it seems they have all the sound quality of a MP3 file.

I only listen to Internet radio with my phone over a Bluetooth speaker when I’m working outside. Indoors, I have a SiriusXM radio that I use to tune in the Grateful Dead channel, connected to my vintage Yamaha CR-820 receiver (headphone jack to RCA line-level input) and it sounds OK. Most of my listening is with the Yamaha’s  FM tuner - listener-sponsored KRVM 91.9 in Eugene, Oregon, which plays fantastic music-only programming. That sounds pretty good audio-wise, and yes, the music and the magic of radio matter more to me than bleeding edge audio excellence most of the time. I do have a dedicated listening room-inside-a-room that I am tricking out with vintage gear - my old Sansui G-5700, a Nakamichi RX-202 cassette deck, a California Audio Labs CL-25 disk player, my old Dual 622 turntable, and two pair of Paradigm speakers that sound great *to me*. Will be doing some room treatment and psychedelic lighting and decor for full immersion in the 60s and 70s - Keep On Truckin’, and Not Fade Away!

flevitan-profound 1st post. I think I get over nostalgic about FM listenining.

Comforting to see I'm not alone.

Listening to my 67 year old,13 tube daily driver Mac.

"The Pittsburgh Jazz Channel" aka wzum.org is a great station with wonderful high quality content for all day every day listening.
