Post Subject: The Power of the "P"Posted by Paul S on: 8/28/2012

Today I listened to a CD dub of early Etta James. Not to speak of the quality of the recording, but it is good enough to hear that Etta sings right up on the mic, and the mic feed is treated to some reverb.  I had the volume set at "15", not very loud, but the right VU meter was shooting up 3/4 of the way at times. When Etta hit certain consonants, such as a "P", the sound was so punchy up and DOWN the frequency range that I could feel my fucking pant legs flapping!  This never happened with the ML2s, but I'm not so sure it's all on the amps here.

I am in the process of checking out my iDAT, which is fully balanced Class A (2 Class A "channels" per channel), and it's 100% DC coupled.  Maybe I'm getting a ULF "bonus"?
