Two NYC HD3 stations (airchecks)

Starts out with analog 'till the 5sec mark when it switches to HD1, AT :59 into HD-2 then finally at 2:32 into HD-3. Here the sound seems rather thin and obviously lower in level then the previous two. I don't know what the bitrate distribution is among the three streams, stations decide this, but all seem acceptable w/minimal artifacts and NO multipath!

Next; WNYC-FM

This one highlights the advantages of digital transmission for Classical music where you can't use heavy compression to mask multipath and a low noise floor is essential.

The recording starts with a fundraiser "cart" with live tag then onto HD-2 and finally HD-3 which is a replay of KCRW's To The Point. Eventhough there seems to be slight overload somewhere in the chain and the pgm is network, it sounds very good, they just need to watch levels.

I am not thrilled with the HD-2 and HD-3 audio, sounds flat, in a way similar to the way muzak sounds coming from overhead speakers.
