Hi, That's a really hot button question. Rolling Eyes IMHO absolutely. But then there are plenty of folks who might disagree. Compression at any level will alter the detail content and overall balance of the music. If it was possible to un-compress it equally on the receiving end then in theory it should be fine. I personally don't know of any commercial receivers that do that. This is similar to the Dolby "B" methodology, only uncontrolled in action. At least there were standards for how it was to be done. I grant that much of the time it was not any where near 100% correct and in some cases pretty dismal. I for one am glad that companders and expanders have pretty much disappeared from the music scene at the consumer level. You will find them in use by the artists for special effects though.

Good Listening
Bruce
