Modern compression is sneaky and they can get one by you if you're not paying attention. You can tell where the limits of MP3 compression are by compressing a high quality mono show at 32 and a stereo show at 64. Those are the two quality limits. Most people can tell there's something wrong with the...

Broadcast AM isn't the only amplitude modulation possible. You can create normal AM the conventional way and then surgically suck the carrier out creating double sideband, suppressed carrier which is how the stereo information is carried in FM Stereo. FM Stereo sends a tiny piece of the original car...
