Thanks!! yeah, I've been trying to wean myself off these boards, salt, coffee, etc.. and I'm kinda an all-or-nothing type guy.. I'll probably be here the rest of the day (night?!).

Really appreciate your ongoing evaluation of the CC. Any final word on the headroom issue?

I'm an old hardhead who learns by experience, so, to expand a bit on mr.T's thorough & succinct definition of headroom, JohnF. (if you're still here); Walk into a local music shop & plug into an Electro Harmanix Deluxe Memory Man, grab a Les Paul (or anything w/medium/hi-output humbuckers) & hit a power chord.

Unless they've radically changed the design of the reissue since I got mine in the '90s. you should hear an awful sound - a gnarly distortion that's neither musical nor useful. 'Clipping' is the term engineers use, tho' I call it "`~?/"+!%^)(*&^"!! Pardon my language, but this french keyboard won't let me swear properly.
