In stereophile this month a letter to the editor has touched a nerve.
We need more Jeff Ziesmann's in our broadcast community. If owners and operators understood the technology and applied common engineering sense to its deployment a greater market share may be realized as Jeff stated.
I own Parasound, Pioneer Elete and Phillips dedicated tuners down to my Rotel and h/k HT receivers and have been disappointed by all. They reside in my home systems at this time only because I have collected the units along the way. I have delayed the purchase of FM digital tuners because of my lack of faith in the broadcast standards and the confusion around the RIAA. The inconsistancy in quality extends to the lack of quality I directly experience by the HDTV affiliates here in KC. All is beautifull today but as soon as there is a storm the quality goes to hell in a handbasket for weeks on end. I even puchased an active antenna to provide margin to no avail and I'm only ~10 miles from the antenna's. Audio drop outs with no loss in pixels or the opposite is very irritating. This makes no darn sense at all... and I get bitched at for dropped calls. YES, I'm a disgruntled engineer working in the wireless industy.
Thanks goes out to Jeff and I hope he receive the support needed... and this comes from a guy that loathes country music
1/4twin watching the game in HDEF very tired of the audio drop outs tonight!

Got a link?Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."
