[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 2003997, member: 555251"] Because music isn't recorded at a 0dB reference level, usually...so by using that level to set your gains, you're making the tradeoff of not using all your amplifier's potential in return for staying well under the clipping threshold... Set it at -6dB, and you run the risk of clipping whenever there's a musical transient that's recorded higher than that... [/QUOTE]
