I can manage a hiss-free FM reception on my old Leak Troughline 3 ( a
valve tuner ).
The difference between an FM broadcast via good tuner and a digital
one is chalk and cheese - and if your kit was up to any kind of
scratch you'd understand why the spatial separation was important.

You know that popular video technique of zooming in on the central
object ( they do it to death on Top Gear ), and the way it takes you
from 'outside' the shot to right inside it? That's the difference, but
in audio terms.
