Experiencing the unique sound and feel that just doesn't happen with today's latest and greatest semiconductor and digital radio technology, is a radio experience that is in a class of its own.Imagine, that from the sound waves of the person's voice speaking into the microphone, and continuously all the way to the sound that you're hearing from your loudspeaker or headphones, you are hearing the same waveform energy passing through an unbroken chain of the analog medium. With today's digital radio electronics, what we are hearing is a stream of numbers that approximates the original voice, then again converting those numbers back to an 'approximation' of the original sound waves. The difference is striking ! What you will hear is the nuance of rich tones snd dynamic punch of the person transmitting over the air waves.
