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...
