Absolutely - all I was pointing out that it is a result of pure incompetence. It is really simple to get lots of 0dB samples together - just record a 1 kHz sine wave at +20 dB - but it is equally easy to avoid, by always leaving 6 dB or so of headroom... > yes phillips was rigth spare a couple of dB when producing CD's :) They actually started out with that as a hard requirement - if you violated it, you couldn't use the "compact disc" logo. Too bad they rescinded that almost immediately :( "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
