here's how to settle this

Take a recording that you've purchased from them. Use one of the many programs out there to check for the highest level in the total file, not just one selection. If the digital level gets to 0dB (which is a mistake in level setting, but let's save that for another thread) or very close -- even in just one part of the recording, bissie is making an accurate statement -- see his comments below about the level setting that is done by his company -- and his label is not compressing the dynamics. If it is off (-4dB or a lower level), he has some 'splaining to do based on the comments he made.

If you -- or anyone else, for that matter -- are not willing to do this (SACD's can now be ripped, so that's not an excuse, but any recorder with a recording level display can be substituted for this task), you should stop your vendetta against BIS.
