RE: Intigrated Amp Dilemma

No, just a sound recommendation. As a retired audiologist I've seen many people begin to lose hearing prematurely. In most cases it was being exposed to loud noises, some like work related may not be preventable. Other like loud concerts or loud stereo playing are. Music played consistently beyond 85db and certainly 90db causes hearing loss.

No one is telling anyone what music to listen to or how loud, free will and all. Your inner ear is essentially a mechanical device, work it beyond it's capability it will begin to fail.
