[BC] Digital quality of Sirius...

[Burt I. Weiner]

Actually, my new car has free Sirius for a whole year.  I'm not sure I'm 
impressed with the audio quality.  The Sirius classical programming does 
have some artifacts that I don't hear on the FM analog stations.  It may be 
the particular Boston Acoustics audio system.  CDs sound pretty good.  I 
will say that most of the talk only channels are very narrow and have 
horrible artifacts.  CNN is annoying to listen to.   I have one friend who 
says his XM sounds much superior and another friend who says that Sirius is 
much superior.
