[BC] Sirius - XM Merger...

[Burt I. Weiner]

I don't know whether it is the systems or the receivers I've had but 
to my ears XM sounds better than Sirius.  Sirius always seems to be 
loaded with digital artifacts while XM's system or my receiver seems 
to do a better job of "sounding" linear.  For my personal listening 
tastes Sirius had a few things that I miss on XM but the digital 
artifacts were always annoying, sometimes to the point of turning it off.
