Amazing. XM with the 'portable' Sony tuner and FM modulator was crap.

Again amazing. I've got XM with the Sony tuner (XM-T1?) into the 4000 and
while significantly better than FM, nowhere close to CD quality. Bass is
'sloppy', mids and highs can't articulate at higher volumes, detail and
focus of soundstage blurry.

Do you get that on the C90 or on the Sirius tuner? With XM going to the
4000 I get it on the C90 and it is very cool.

I def think satellite radio is going to spread like satelitte TV has.
Great fun being an early adopter.

This has come up a few times before about noise/ and it being ok
cause you can't hear it at high listening volumes. I'd like to make
two comments:
1) I've been reading the Complete Guide to High End Audio, and there is a
section about how humans percieve sound which raise an interesting point.
As SPL increases your ears, decrease sensitivity. So in this case, by
raising the 'noise floor' your ears are going to desensitize and hear
less of the music because of it. So your argument may be true about not
hearing it at higher volumes, but I'd bet the farm you could hear a
difference if it was gone.
2) If you like music with large dynamics (where parts of the music get
very quiet e.g. classical, chamber music, floyd, etc.), a high noise floor
completely kills the emotion of the piece as the dynamics change. Granted
in a car, you have to accept the fact you've got a high noise floor from
road noise so it's a demon you have to make your piece with to listen for
enjoyment in the car. But I def don't want my system adding to that
phenomenom.
