Re: This Could Be Caused By "Expectation Biases" No?

A few years ago, at a CES demonstration at a hotel in Las Vegas, I decided to hear the sound of 'clipping' in my power amps. Bad Idea! We had 4 of my amps driving a system of direct radiators with a total output of more than 3000 Watts, and it was about 9PM. We got out the sound meter, and most of us were pushed out of the room by the volume. Then the police came! Thank God, I had the sound meter out. I just said that we were running a test, and they went away, warning me that others in the hotel like to have reasonable peace and quiet. ;-) By the way, I could hear the amps clip on that occasion.
