Answer this one at your own risk: If you had to choose, which would you dump, your spouse or your audio system?
Well, "Gnarls Barkley" was the last straw. A brilliant bit of work IMHO, but compressed to death, to the point where I can't turn it up to near where I'd like to; it's just too unpleasant.
So: Gnarls is available on vinyl. I own 600+ slabs of vinyl, but haven't bought new vinyl in many years. Is there more dynamic range on vinyl, or is it compressed also? Or does it vary from record to record?
As I recall, you were very fond of the Tivoli PAL - the Henry Kloss designed AM/FM portable. Any particular reason you didn't do a comparison of that radio with the Music Hall RDR-1?
Regarding personal FM transmitters, I certainly agree that one needs to find a spot in the band with no strong adjacent stations. Whether one is, "..certain to find a nice empty spot on the FM dial.." without strong adjacent stations depends on location. In metropolitan Chicago, it's next to impossible.
