frequency response: tuba players' ears

and classical dj's - mostly - exhibit epically poor taste, both in their selection of pieces and in their selection of performers.

I swear if I have to hear Respighi's Ancient Airs & Dances one more f***ing time.

What's worse? It was a freebie donation from a record label with some meh regional orchestra.

Anyone remember P.D.Q. Bach's "WTWP Classical Talkity-Talk Radio"? Their motto was "all Pachelbel, all the time." In the last scene a station worker was driven into a nervous breakdown by the umpteenth repetition of Canon in D.

One issue is the "preemphasis" that radio stations use in broadcast to artificially boost the bass and treble into their broadcast signal to counter road and wind noise. For that reason, I have to turn down the bass, even on our local PBS station. The bass pre-emphasis is not part of the original 75 microsecond preemphasis, but it is quite apparent when listening to the same selection on a domestic system rather than a broadcast system. (CD player vs Radio).

Back in the day, you could watch the game on TV with the volume down, and listen to the local radio broadcast and it was all synched up. Then go fill up the car with leaded gas for .80 gallon. A pack of smokes was .80 too. I could take the smokes to work and light up at my desk!! Oh yeah, baby!!
