I actually take a lot of pride in what happens between the mixer board
and the transmitter at my 3 stations. I bought the best audio
processor on the market for my main 2 stations, the Orban 8500
($12,000) and carefully tweak using the least aggressive settings so
it is as transparent as possible. For my High School Station I was
still able to get a $5,000 Orban. However they play garage band rock
so it is already ruined before it leaves the mixer :-)

Classical shouldn't be broadcast on FM radio at all IMO. 90% of FM
listeners are in cars these days. I have a 120GB hardrive full of
mp3's in my car and last week I was going through some of my Classical
recordings. A very frustrating experience - I was constantly turning
the volume up to hear the quiet passages and then down for the loud
passages.
