Hi all,
So I was sorting my music out a bit today, trying to organise it - step by step.
So was going through some of the older stuff I have acquired over the year, some really nasty low quality stuff. Sounds sooo dead and flat.
One song I had was in 32kbps, it was horrid. I played it and it was full of distortion and such which then got me thinking, is it possible for a signal to be played through your sound system and have it damage your equipment - obviously it was excessively loud or something, that could possibly damage your equipment, although I mean more along the terms of the sound and now the loudness.
I would imagine not really, as the distortion / clipping which could damage your equipment is caused due to the receiver cutting off certain frequencies when it is unable to provide enough power and so on, the signal and power which gets sent to the speakers is not clean and possibly quite erratic?
So am I right or not really?
