I answered this same question yesterday in another thread. Positive values in RG do not cause clipping. That album is very quiet. RG target is 89dB, so that album (which I have too) is more like 78dB to start with... so even after boosting by nearly 11dB it's only back up to 89dB - still a long way from clipping! -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
