Both Sirius and XM both use heavy compression. This is a huge complaint over at the xmfan.com forums. Most agree that XM/Sirius sound quality is worse than FM. (I find this to be true). I think they forbid sound quality complaint threads on the forum because it was getting so out of hand. The worst part is that they carry a few clearchannel channels (through some bs legal deal years ago) and they have the best audio quality out of any stations. The purposely give the talk channels lower quality and quality can vary between the music channels. Even with the less than perfect sound quality, I would rather have a huge music selection and no commercials than listen to FM during my commute every day.
That Ramsey unit doesn't look like a bad deal for $30. I used to listen to my XM receiver through FM on my German set but it would be nice to use it for my AM only Zenith.
