Interesting, I have learned something new then! I always believed that audio compression compressed both positive and negative peaks and compressing only the negative side could potentially have the same "muddy sound" as compressing the positive side. I stand corrected.

People locally around here don't like the sound of Magnum radios or the Turner mics I mentioned, nobody uses the Turner mics, and if a local gets a Magnum radio, it usually comes across my bench to have the CP-1 compressor circuit yanked out of it. Too many complaints of muddy, flat, bassy audio. It's probably the fact that most of the locals around here run primarily SSB, and since SSB runs a narrower bandwidth than AM, it's probably a bit more noticeable.
