An internet radio station that only plays vinyl! Yes folks, this is the answer for those that want the convenience of digital reproduction without the fuss of records but want clicks and plops.:)

Thanks Jerry, they just played ELP's Lucky Man, sounded excellent (mind you they're playing some CCR now & it sounds like the stylus needs changing)

Yes, the quality is variable to say the least. We need a sticky for new internet radio stations-MODS!

I almost got the impression they're adding crackles

Ha-ha!
The polite answer is: "Yes, that's an excellent idea - you make it & we'll stick it"

The factual answer is: "There was one but we unstuck it, because nobody was using it. Nowadays, it languishes low down in the thread listings with the 14 other threads with Internet Radio in their title"

The brutal answer is: "This thread is in the wrong place"

I'm a big fan of..

..Cloth Ears Radio.

Broadcasts at an amazing 9216kbps but it's unique theme is it only plays really terrible recordings.

Cloth Ears also has less static than Vinyl Ears...

Hi Chris
Where would you like to see stuff about internet radio, I thought the digital section was the right place?
The thing is, stations come and go so it is useful letting people know what is available and what has died a death so to speak.

I'll move it to the music section - I think it'll sit better there.
While I'm at it, I'll change the title to something that will cover what you describe. The current title is specific to this particular station, so not much use.
So - as it's your thread, Jerry, why don't you let me have a suggestion for a name?

How about 'High quality Internet radio stations'. That way, stations that broadcast good music as well as high SQ will be covered?

Lets just list a few to remind everyone:
Radio Paradise Naim Exclusive-best choice for sq and choice
Naim Radio-some good stuff and excellent quality but some bonkers cat strangling jazz
Audiophile Live-great quality but bland middle of the road stuff
Jazzloft-great quality German station
Linn Radio-good quality but lots of repeats and very folky.

All suggestions appreciated!
