Hi Dave, I'm using a Sony CD Player (nothing special right now) .. but
this should not be a problem. It showed the same distortions already
with a Denon 3560 player. By the way I'm using 8 Ohm speakers. So that
should be acceptable. Do you or someone else have experience with such
distortions or clipping around 12 o'clock on the volume poti?


What rms/peak levels of voltage and current do you read at the point where
distortion becomes evident?

What are the details of the waveforms? Music? Sinewaves? etc...

Do you know the sensitivity of the input you are using?

Slainte,

Jim
