[QUOTE="dtavano, post: 3548507, member: 575039"] Ok, so with a -10db reference signal you get a 3:1 overlap at the volume level you set your gain to? Is that safe with rap music as well!?!? There is a point in a song by kottonmouth kings - Hidden Destinations where it sounds like a pure test tone. Is this most likely not a sustained 0db wave and more along the lines of -10db? I never expected receive so much useful and hidden information within this post! People are being tricked into using the 0db reference level? In all the tutorials I have read they are robbing us of 10db!?! So if I put my deck on let us say 20 volume(alpine deck) and use a reference tone at -10db and set the gain with my DMM, I can play songs safely at volume 20? Even rap music?
