Anyone else following the "clipping" discussion with Alan Shaw on the Harbeth site? It's fascinating and has evolved into a primer on clipping, amps and modern recording techniques. Not sure what path the discussion will ultimately take, but it seems to be a very "academic" approach to some of the more heated threads that have popped up on this forum lately. http://www.harbeth.co.uk/usergroup/showthread.php?1993-Getting-to-grips-with-quot-clipping-quot-an-ongoing-research-project
