Default Clipping on professionally produced CD's

Many, many years ago, "Stereo Review" ran listening tests, and
determined that 1 to 2dB of amplifier clipping was audible on solo

violin.

Probably true on a steady violin tone. Step back a bit for a recording of
a string quartet, and more clipping can probably sneak past the ear.


Probably true, but there's plenty of solo-violin music.


Unfortunately :-)
