Jeff, 

Jeff my feelings are hurt.  

I felt WGN sounds like listening through a funnel.   I felt WIND and WLS
were top runners for audio then WBBM, WSCR and finally WGN.  

The WLS DX50 is a very capable transmitter with flat audio and 0.4 %
THD.  IMD will run about 1.5% and S/N will hit the -60 dB.  Antenna BW
is good to +/- 20 KHz for a low VSWR.  STL is T1 Intraplex or CD Link.  

On this list only two are transmitting IBOC.  Have you listened since
2/9??

That's an easy one. Here in the Chicago area, the best sounding AM is
WGN. 
No contest. All the other 50 kW AMs have processing artifacts.
