So - over the last few days I plugged up my XM radio and was shocked by the sound quality. I don't know what has changed in my system, but XM sounds great!

Anybody else here find the same with XM?

I use my Polk XM receiver as my main source.
It sounds awesome !

I have a SS amp, w/tube Pre amp, and the digital XM source..


Heinz 57....alittle of everything !

It sounds just like it should !

Crisp, clean, with a tube buffer.....what more could a beardog want ?!!!

Anyone notice Polk just released a Serius tuner? I saw it in the latest Crutchfield sale catalog. I don't see it on Polk's or Crutchfields websites.

I'm running XM through the FM mod in the car and I did notice a slight difference in the highs: highs seem less compressed sounding lately.

XM did some tweaks back in August. Do a search, you'll see the specifics...

Same here. I notice much less compression in the highs and less of the "swirly MP3-like" sound.
