A ham buddy of mine who was a transmitter engineer at WLWO, the VOA

set (multiple tuned RF stages) to see how good AM could sound. It was
remarkable.


I once tried a simple single-tuned crystal AM radio connected directly
to a guy wire of a 5 kW AM station, feeding a KEF 105 speaker. It sounded
wonderful.

When I was restoring a ca. 1915 loose-coupler crystal set, I was
actually startled by how good it sounded. No pesky IF or AF stages to
add distortion or pass band limiting!
