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

Sorry, but compression does not sound bad.

CLIPPING sounds bad.  Very hard limiting sounds bad.

Compression sounds bad on things like voice, with noise in the  
background, like a mic in a noisy studio.

Compression makes radio listenable in noisy conditions like in cars.

Frankly, if you ask the public, audio processing, that would be  
compression and moderate limiting, sounds GOOD.  I have at least twice  
written about an SBE/AES meeting in DC where the golden ears liked  
processed audio better than their own records.
