Yes = the N stays the same but the S goes down. Much more importantly (given that noise is usually pretty low anyway in modern equipment), the available dynamic range is reduced, so the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds is reduced. In practical terms for red book audio, keeping above 80 retains a good enough dynamic range for critical listening IMO. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
