ORIGINAL MESSAGE: -- REPLY FOLLOWS -- Right you are. My original suggestion to "put it in writing" was not something I would ever seriously consider, just a way of getting him to see what he was aski
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: -- REPLY FOLLOWS -- A difference of only 1 db is all but unnoticeable. It would take a very careful side-by-side comparison to see the difference. Also keep in mind that gain is pro
