   Far from it - AM radio once upon a time was a world standard and pretty good.   
   I have a Zenith console from the 1930s that is capable of producing excellent   
   sound - if fed a decent signal.   
      
   Sadly, AM today is a hodge-podge of compressed, limited bandwidth garbage   
   shilling religion and the likes of Rush Limbaugh with little redeeming social   
   value in very much most cases. I solve that problem for myself by using a   
   small, full-range (20-20K    
   uncompressed) transmitter from a CD changer. Most older AM receivers are much   
   better than the signal fed to them.
