Last night, I got an oppotunity to hear what Romy's been screaming about the quality of FM broadcast.  Yes, it is in an "insulting" level.  The biggest surprise was the harmonic integrity live-broadcasts presents us.  Not only with orchestral works (well, especially with orchestral works), but even with solo piano or violin pieces, the richness and the integrity of harmonics are amazing.  Compared to these live-broadcasts, the other recorded medium (CDs & LPs) sounds more or less like an androids created by chopped body pieces put together by mad scientist.

Yoshi, you might partially consider this:

Also, I do not agree with you that there is ANY difference in harmonic integrity between my live FM recording and most of the recorded CD/LPs. The harmonic integrity is not something that sets the live FM apart.

Is the difference inherent to the recording/mastering process?  I don't know and Romy says he doesn't know either, but if it's mainly the result of the ignorance and stupidity of recording/mastering engineers, they should be hung for the crime against humanity!

Well, you begin to sound like me but it is no surprise. I did not demonstrate to you my live FM recordings and then to play the very same performances released commercially on CD. It would be like VERY different music. Yes, one of the advantage of live FM that all that superstructure of idiots-professionals who do “mastering” is left with live broadcasts out of prentices… Also there are no medium problems as the live feed A/D directly on my side, whey I have control and where I do not use barbarian methods to kill sound.
