If you read archimagos blog , it is some kind of weird gain problem a HT bypass mode in his preamp and probably some other design issue . Having good gain scaling in a system makes a lot difference , to much gain everywhere is very common . Yes if its 100dB down you wont hear it I agree, its often less . In most system you never hear -100dB signal sitting in the listening position with your usual volume even if its the signal alone unmasked by music -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
