I had posted this in a different thread but thought it may be more appropriate to start a thread just for this
I have one of the cd's RC put out in 02 with recordings of 3 different amps level matched to within 1/4 db playing with no clipping, 3db, 6, 12, 18, then 24. It was a home "audiophile" tube amp, a Jl Audio and a Jensen. you cannot hear a difference between the amps (even when you can hear clipping at the 12 db mark they still sound the same) untill you reach 24db clipping value and then it is the tube amp that just gives out ( that is like a 100watt amp trying to reproduce a signal of a 25,600 watt amp AND at that level you deserve to have your speakers blow up) If anyone is really interested in this test cd I would be willing to send you a copy of it with the transcript. I would just ask for shipping and handling. P.S if I am stepping on anyones toes by offering this cd please let me know and I will remove the offer. It will REALLY have you rethink what you are hearing when you are switching out amps and calling one better then another
