Sounds like CJRT has their preamp turned up too high.. there is a
fair bit of clipping at times.
KCSM sounds nice to me, maybe a bit on the low side compared to
studio compressed mp3s.. I would say CJRT is too loud (but I am
no expert at all).
Just as a matter of interest, how did you find KCSM? It doesn't
show up on Shoutcast, or on my program tunapie that connects to
shoutcast (plug.. plug...)
http://tunapie.sourceforge.net
As far as I know Winamp queries the same server.. so it makes no
sense to me...
