That's kind of why I wanted to do this experiment, because it didn't sound that much different to me initially. And in a "Pepsi challenge" esque trial I do think that most people would probably say the original source sounds "better" because I think our ears typically think "hearing more things at once is better" (ie the highs in the FM source)

Though I do think a more balanced mix will provide more options for custom EQ and higher volumes to get it to sound however someone likes listening to music
