[QUOTE="closetosoton, post: 105156, member: 184281"] I've tried an Arcam, they're bloody expensive that's for sure, but they were early in the DAB take up run of things. My quibbles about DAB are simple: the bit rates are too low, you can hear the compression. So, you pays you money and takes your choice, DAB compression artifacts or FM crackle. I personnaly shunned DAB in favour of a good FM tuner with a decent aerial: one of these infact: _http://ws3.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=DENO-TU260MK2. For digital artifacts I often tune into freeview radio stations. I did feel quite strange pruchasing a FM tuner for the tune of £100 when you can get a DAB radio for that cash.... However connected to the aerial, in my loft space, in the height of summer, before I routed the cable and put nasty 90deg bends in it, I got french FM radio stations from Lat: 50:59:57N, Lon: 1:28:41W - just north of Southampton. -cts [/QUOTE]
