    An excellent subject that I don't think has been discussed here yet.

    I seriously doubt it Ward.

    No damage to you gear unless the vol knob is too high and you overdrive your amp/receiver and or speakers. I have to constantly adjust my vol knob with different recordings. Unfortunately this is the way the music industry has gone.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    I've made a cd skip a time or two by haveing a sub too loud.I would imagine if you had some tube gear,it could rattle some stuff loose.Look at Sid,in that small room with the subs he's got.Can't imagine something not getting wiggled loose with all those bass waves bouncing around.

    I think Ward was thinking of the actual signal intensity coming off a disc damaging the player itself. Like "overloading" it.


    I don't think so.
