b-dubs89 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 bought a tpi-440 scope-meter here recently and now after using it a couple of times i am sooooo glad i shelled out the cash to get a scope . being able to tell definitively when pre-amp signals and amp output signals are clipped is so worth the money . i have used the scope on my home audio to check my pre amp output as well as in my car audio . so far i have been rather surprised as to how easy pre amp level signals will clip . highly recommend getting a scope if you are serious at all about audio , you will maximize your gear's performance while protecting your gear at the same time . on another note , if you are not a weirdo and live close enough to windom mn , i may be willing to scope equipment for a fellow car audio enthusiast .

Also,.. (this post weirded me out) I have to ask,... when you say " so far i have been rather surprised as to how easy pre amp level signals will clip " what tone, are you playing? Do you have some sort of set up disk? Or did you rip from Damore's site? Or a 3sixty CD (thats what i use)..... i was just curious what tone(s) HZ wise, and LEVEL wise you were playing wifffff........
