....Radio station audio is the most horrible audio on the planet. They are all in the ratings and loudness game and they have degraded (compressed, expanded, reverberated, phase reversed and equalized; known as a loudness processor) their signal to the point that quality in their world is as obsolete as a buggey whip or high button shoes. I've seen tape heads in a radio station that didn't have any response past 8K but they still went on and used them every day. We had better radio audio in 1959 than we do today. The FCC had a policy in place known as PROOF OF PERFORMANCE. Every radio station in the USA had to do a test periodically; frequency response, distortion test, modulation test and report it to the FCC. This was abolished through the lobbying efforts of the NAB. Ray Hughes
