Re: The Importance of Audio Measurements

Well, I just tried it. I put the preamp on Disc, turned the preamp gain all the way up (in steps, just to be safe; of course, there was some broadband hiss at full volume), and tapped the phono cables. Couldn't hear any result from the tapping out of the speakers.

I also tried my headphones through the headphone jack of a tape deck (my preamp has no headphone jack), and could hear nothing from the tapping, but the gain isn't really very high in that case, though more than adequate for music.

I imagine the effect would be measureable, but in this case, I couldn't hear it.
