the rest of the system is a beard valve preamp ,an icon audio 30watt valve amp feeding tanoy lancaster speakers
not shore what this proves . but if you are happy with what you have dont go and listen to some thing that may sound far better, or your ears will crave that you upgrade

Hi Rob,
One of the difficulties with this sort of comparison is that the FM and DAB feeds are treated differently in BH basement. There are separate processors for each, and they are set up differently for each feed. Which means that this isn't a genuine test of the medium (DAB verses FM). It is, of course, a valid test of the BBC's DAB verses FM "offer", to use the jargon...
