[BC] nominations for best sounding AM in your area?

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

When WCRB had its AM at 1330 kHz, it sounded as good as the FM (concert music) at the studio on a Scott Receiver. Later on, when Rich Wood was working at WACE in Chicopee, that 5kW AM sounded as good as the FM stations in the air such as WMAS. WACE used a GE limiter to control peaks and a Kahn Symetra-peak --that's all. On the other hand, WMAS-AM used a "brand-new" Audimax/Volumax combination for AM and an old GE Limiter for FM. With the exact same programing, the FM always sounded better even though Earl Hewingson, the CE with golden ears, tried and tried to make it sound good.

Lesson: Compression makes radio sound bad.

curious:

what's the best sounding AM you've personally heard? not the loudest,  
not the most coverage, but the best sounding , an AM so good if you  
closed your eyes you'd swear you were listening to a FM mono signal  
when heard through a good receiver?
