alt: I am deeply unappreciated in my own time, really the sooner I die the better

altalt: OCD ent even a real thing it's just people being mental
(, Tue 15 Oct 2013, 10:58, 3 replies, latest was 12 years ago)
i am so un-OCD it's untrue
apart from one thing - all volume controls have to be on an odd number.

well ok that and the not sharing food thing. but that's just good hygiene.

Shouldn't be on more than 2/3 of full anyway or you risk clipping and speaker damage
unless it's a really quiet recording.

Or, y'know, you could have bought an amplifier with a suitable power rating to use with your speakers.
i.e. amp much higher than the speakers. That way you avoid clipping and speaker damage, as the sound distorts before the speakers are damaged and you know you've hit the limit.
(, Tue 15 Oct 2013, 11:41, Reply)
This is true
but most packaged systems aren't like that, so break.
(, Tue 15 Oct 2013, 11:51, Reply)
true enough
but it's still scary how many "high end" hifi experts/shops will tell you that your speaker rating should exceed that of your amp.

electronics fail 101.
(, Tue 15 Oct 2013, 11:57, Reply)
That's so they can sell you more expensive speakers.....
anyhow a decent amp should trip out if it clips.
