Hi,
Audio in comm. is to communicate. Hi-Fi is not best for communicating.
If audio is primary importance, AM is lot better. Little off topic,
I spent all my life persuing Hi-Fi being a classical musician for a
hobby. Now my boy plays guitar and am into tube amps for guitars.
Totally different area. But learning very fast with tubes theory
refreshed. Well it was all tube when I went to school. Remember old
RCA CK722 x-sistor? I was so happy to get some of those when they were
on the market. Back down to basement to tweak guitar amp.
73,
Tony, VE6CGX
