[QUOTE="Telmar, post: 162584, member: 4611"] It is not very clever to trust your ears, when it comes to something like this. There have been tests in the past that proved you might hear a difference just because someone tells you that two things are not identical, but in reality they changed not a single thing during the test ! Our brain is always tricking us into things like this ! So I came up with the idea to do a simple measurement, period. How the test was set up: I set the EQ to the middle position and the output level to maximum. The input signal was provided my a MOTU M2 and was so low to cause no distortion. The gain trimming was done with the gain pot and this was the only variable. For a quick test, this is the most accurate thing I could do right now. [B]Some more amp building rules: potentiometers differ relatively large in value, setting them to their minimum (makes no sense in our case) or to their maximum (remember what I did with the output volume pot? 100% !) makes a lot of sense.[/B] [/QUOTE]
