2) started to suspect that the 'warmth' on FM was due to a combination of
peak-compression (so enhancing the sustain part of notes) and the high
levels of nonlinearity for HF peaks from the RX.

Hence I found that my preference started to change, and now is quite
different to my initial reactions to DTTV.

My experience echoes this.

I have also taken a recording of a CD track from Radio 3 FM and
compared it with my copy of the same CD. The level of compression
surprised me, as did the euphonic effect of this making the FM version
seem more 'alive' (probably because of the higher level of background
noise).

When the opportunity arises, I will try the same thing with Radio 3 on
satellite. (This obviously depends on the BBC broadcasting a track
from a CD that I possess. ;-)
