We are using communications quality audio.
It is to communicate, not for high fidelity music. Oh the number of times that someone has been 100% copy and yet someone complains that it isn't broadcast quality. And speaking of broadcast, we are not supposed to broadcast, we transmit!

Subject: Re: [repeater-builder] Why use a purpose built repeater box as a repeater rather than a transmitter, receiver, and controller tied (lashed) together?
One can sell some of the audiophiles most anything.? ?The best I know
of is special wire from the equipment to the 120 volt AC receptacle in the wall.? I have seen ads for that 6 to 10 feet of wire go for over $ 100.? They are too hung up not to think of the cheap 20 to 100 feet of wire in the wall going to the breaker box or the junk aluminum wire from there to the power transformer.
We are using communications quality audio .? Frequency response
limited from about 300 to 3000 Hz at the most.

Without exception? We're talking about audio, not rocket science.
Audiophiles spend many thousands trying to recreate the most perfect audio possible. They install a cartridge made by one company into a turntable made by another. It's connected to a pre-amp made by another, which feeds a power amp made by another, which is powered from a line conditioner made by another. Then there's speakers made by another, and of course they're connected via special oxygen-free copper wires made by another. They're fussy beyond belief and pick the best equipment for each job, and it's not all made by the same company.
?Audiophiles like that annoy me. Several blind tests must be
performed, and a confidence level of 95% must be achieved for any statistical significance. I highly doubt they will be able to tell the difference between which speaker wire is used on a blind test.
Honestly, I would be surprised if some of these people who think they
know what they are talking about would even be able to tell the difference between a tube amp and a solid state in a blind test, but I may be proven wrong, and in that case I'm all for it!
