New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

The percussion does have about twice the level

of the guitar.
It sounds good, in that. There is one notable punctuation in the first song where the percussion comes in and hits a cymbal type instrument, and it is very striking.

For (another) comparison, on Larry Carlton's CD "Discovery" an accoustic guitar showcase, with plenty-o'-percussion, my amp puts out 25-30 watts from the incoming redbook signal.

Mark should balance the benefits of no clipping, with the listeners' need to boost most preamps into the distortion level in order to get enough juice to the amp to provide a listening level in excess of that disseminated by an accoustic guitar. The problem may be in the mix, where Mark, or whomever, wanted the prcussion to have a potential sound level 30-40 dbs in excess of the main instrument (Juber). And, as any engineer knows, the precussion already has a built in distortion to it; some compression of the cymbals would be a good trade for increased clarity and volume on the guitar.
