That program is great. I guess I have never heard the clipping from my amp.
Thanks!

It's very pronounced when you hear such a flattened wave like the program has.  What I've noticed is this:  when adjusting gain (volume on the deck, too), the clipping sound is just slight when it appears.  This is due to the fact that the gain control is moved very slowly.  A full flat wave isn't really reached.  But the difference in sound from the pure sine wave is distinctly noticeable.  It will sound like it has a staccato ticking within the tone, and the tone frequency seems to change to lower somewhat.

When adjusting gains on your system, you should particularly try to find the point of clipping and then move back off of it just enough to reach the pure sine wave sound again.  This will ensure that you've reached maximum signal-to-noise ratio and you'll be provided with the best sound your equipment can make. 

Glad you can use the program.  I've referred it many times but usually don't hear whether it was put to use or not.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Looks like it was a gain issue.   I set it using a DMM per JLAUDIO's site and all is well. Thanks!
