Test your sound using your am/fm, get on a good HD fm station that you like for best results.
Sirius is not a good test subject as the signal is compressed beyond anything on am/fm.
I distinctly heard on Sirius last week a CD skipping 3 times in 1 song.
(Files may crap out, but skipping?)
Before that I swear Im POSITIVE I heard a tape playing - remember the tell tale signs of an older tape you used to play all the time?
The high pitched creaking of the cartridge wheels and the up/down of the mids and highs due to magnetization and heat/cold effects on the tape?
The difference between Siruis and HDfm is that HDfm 1000 times better - HDfm puts the satellite channels to shame, even normal FM sounds better.
Noticable drop in fidelity when switching from FM back to satellite no matter what channel,
-must increase volume approx 1/4 to hear ok by myslef, and if its talk radio on Sirius, must go a tad more than 1/4 to even hear at all.
