wow.. that is actually pretty impressive. I always thought of Bose speakers as being quite good. Now hearing these I question that. Its pretty amazing that you can tell the difference just over a voice recording too.
As for AM and FM, you guys are absolutely right. AM sounds much different than FM. AM (amplitude modulation) is a technically inferior way to transmit audio when compared to FM (frequency modulation) and thats why it sounds so different. You could almost think of it as an 8-bit image vs a 16-bit image on the computer. The 16-bit (FM) image has WAAAAY more tonal and dynamic range than the 8-bit. So essentially the FM method is capable of transmitting a bunch more tones which leads to more pleasing sound!
With AM, the amplitude or peak and trough of the waves is increased and decreased to give you different channels, where in FM, the frequency or number of those waves is increased or decreased to create different FM channels. The tuner on your radio just changes to listed to these changes and that’s how you can zero in on different stations.
sorry im rambling about probably useless info. I use to be quite the audiophile. I think if I didn’t get into photography, I would certainly have considered audio engineering! So interesting.
