In checking out the Accurian AM performance, I noticed that the analog does not fade from live to digtal-delayed.
The initial analog reception is delayed about a quarter-second, so the delay blend is matching up to the already twice-delayed
analog audio (once at the station, and once again at the radio).
This sounds strange and much like the football-field announcer echo if you are monitoring with a regular radio at the same time.
If I put the Accurian on my AM and position the microphone at a point near the speaker, I can get a really neat slap-back voice
echo on top of the reverb already there. There's so much delay, there's no real tendency to feed back.
This is interesting but not neat enough to make me want to keep the radio.
