In Reply to: The problem with assuming others are like myself… posted by David Aiken on November 27, 2002 at 13:27:38:
Most, but not all, equipment sticks to a rather narrow part of the input/output characteristics curve.Now, in the high end, this isn't as true. Some are "normal" some aren't, and so on.
The problem is that for the nonlinear aspects of such issues, there is very little way to characterize such a thing before trying it.
On the other hand, MOST effects are quite small. Please notice (not you as much as others) that I said MOST.
Some amp/speaker interactions (and speaker cable interactions) are "interesting", to say the least. Ditto for some devices with particular grounding, neutral, etc, issues, or for various devices with highly non-standard (to the extent one exists) input or output impedences.
