Oh bravo, just like the original ad. I like this idea, a lot.
Advertising is not what it once was! Best wishes from George

It took me a while to see the speaker
Interesting... I also suspected it was getting worse and for the same reasons!
I have sometimes suspected some bass boost going on with the digital version of radio though...
The total lack of background hiss and (even more importantly) lack of multipath distortion is a revelation after a lifetime of FM... although I do feel at times that "it's not radio" as it hasn't arrived over the ether via radio waves
Apart from Radios Two, Three and Four, I am wondering what else is broadcast in high quality on UK VHF?
I have never used a high quality R2R tape machine, but I have to believe that there is the potential for something of this quality.
To be fair, its a fairly blatant potatoshop fake; both scale and shadows all wrong, for a start: e.g. the -model would need to under 4' 2" to make the '57' so tall ...
Here is the appropriate contemporary advertisement shot:
This is true.I wonder how they measured the interest?
Hi-fi buffs who knew about it were but a fraction of the audience that might have appreciated it... had they been told in straightforward terms what they needed to do to hear it.
I’d love them to enable a permanent FLAC feed, I don’t know what would be involved, perhaps @Jim Audiomisc would know - I believe he has contacts at the BBC
