Solid state amps clip very sharply, leaving you with a lot of odd harmonics like a square wave. It's very hard to listen to, which is why guitarists who want that pleasant fuzzy tone use tubes. Solid state sounds like a buzz saw.
You'll know if your SS amp is clipping. And then there are speakers. Many of them have sensitive spots at different frequency bands where they simply buzz. It's a common defect, one you'll never pin down without a signal generator which these days your laptop can become pretty easily. And then there are the other reasons besides 'clipping' that something sounds bad, especially if it's not on loud passages.
A vinyl environment has quite the number of mechanical culprits to suspect, not of 'clipping' but of noises and distortion. Music is not clear Alcohol costs more damage to tweeters and crossovers than normal. Luckily Energy had such good service Klipsch actually sent me a brand new crossover, opened speaker, labeled wires to what drivers Have old crossovers and may b sending to be fixed.
Will b nice to have backup! Good service! I can't believe the level of stupidity in some of these posts. The "clipping" It's not happening with Netflix It seems to happen only with vinyl records on the turntable.
I had the same issue with a Philips turntable many years ago. Phono stylus does, in fact, wear out I have less than hours on my Miyajima Shalabi. Triplanar arm, Woodsong Garrard I am actually hoping that it is a compliance mismatch cart and arm.
Just playing Overture on the cannons the arm jumped off the record and the sound stopped for an instant! Sure seems like the cart is not tracking. At least I now have a torture test! He advertised the system for sale on Craigslist. Prospective buyer showed up to test it with his McIntosh and turntable with The Overture with Cannons. Cannons went off Guy packed up his amp and turntable and split This explanation is incorrect.
The correct explanation is tube amps make less odd ordered harmonics as they clip; this results in smoother sound as the amps overload. This is nonsense. If the LP is properly mastered it may well be uncompressed while quite often the digital release is since there is no expectation that the LP will be played in a car.
The reason the stylus jumped out of the groove is that its mismatched with the tonearm. If you want to talk about limitations in LP playback, this is one of them- you can set up an excellent cartridge with an excellent tonearm and it won't play properly if they are mismatched. The compliance of the cartridge in tandem with the mass of the cartridge in the arm must produce a mechanical resonance between Hz.
If not in that window you can get mistracking and actually have the stylus jump out of the groove. Thanks Ralph-good to get the confirmation that my cartridge is a mismatch with the Tri-planar arm. And this must be the reason for the distortion I get on full tones of a vocal.

I moved now Kef sound bad My Bad T has power but will not s Ars Sonum Armonia. Post removed May 20, What happens if this is not the case? In a word: Clipping. Read on to learn more about this most-common and preventable form of distortion. One major measurement that will help you find the right amplifier for your loudspeakers is impedance.
Loudspeakers with a lower impedance value offer less resistance to the current. This means that they pull more power from the amplifier. If the amount of electrical resistance imposed by each device is mismatched, two negative outcomes can result: Damage to your system and distortion in the form of clipping. Clipping occurs when more power is required from an amplifier then it is able to deliver. Once the maximum amount of power supply voltage has been reached, it becomes impossible to amplify the incoming signal without compromising its form.
Got to a Rolling Stones song and the speakers started making a loud crackle with the loud bass notes, king of sounded like someone was taking a drum stick and hitting the voice coil along with the bass notes. I ran to turn it down, no damage or anything, but is this clipping? The Bose guzzle watts like we drink water I know, get new speakers Whaleman , Aug 11, Ah yes. You have answered yourself. That is definitely clipping.
If you can turn it up that much your speakers are way to power hungry. ManyMoonsAudio , Aug 11, Clipping is an amp. What you may be hearing on the woofer is the voice coil "bottoming out" on the magnet assembly and if this is continued, you will have permanent speaker damage as the coil form is then flattened and will rub in the air gap and will have to be re-coned. This is not to say the amp. A friend complained about a harsh midrange and found he had is EQ set for the "smiley face" setting and I took a small scope to measure his system and told him to ether lower the EQ settings or he needed more amplifier power.
He got a bigger amp. Last edited: Aug 11, Messages: 1, Location: so. I had a speaker bottom out and it sounded simular to your symtoms. I would take a look at your surrounds on the woofers. Aged surrounds loose their compliance and can cause greater excursion. They dont have to be cracking or comming apart to be bad. Messages: 5, Location: Morden, Nova Scotia.
Clipping will sound more like metalic excessive noise on top of the HF passages. But, excessive mechanical sounding noise cracking; knocking, etc. This will damage the voice coil s. Of course, both can happen at the same time. Morden , Aug 13, Messages: 26, Location: Out West. Fisherdude , Aug 13, I'm gonna have to not agree with what all I've heard here as to wether it was excursion or clipping I'm gonna go with clipping, and I'll tell ya why First off..
