    all these years later and people still don't get it. If you want to have a slightly better understanding of gain overlap you can follow this link here www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/207759-what-is-gain-overlap/?page=2 - i also posted a few images from my MECP study guide which talks about the same stuff facebook.com/SteveMeadeDesigns/posts/a-lot-of-people-have-asked-me-what-gain-overlap-is-and-why-we-use-it-read-this-e/10157421195868430/ - these writings pre-date the DD-1 by decades so that is why you will see the o-scope is being used. Done properly, the o-scope is way better than any DMM or "ear-o-meter". The DD-1 can see what the o-scope (especially your 40 dollar amazon handheld scope) can't see. The DD-1 is MADE for setting gains and it does it in spectacular fashion. But as far as overlaps, that (above) is a decent read. Once you understand that and have years of using an o-scope (using the PROPER PROCEDURE) you can truly appreciate the dd-1.

      Yo, that CT Sounds amplifier did a great job. Over 1000w more than rated at 1 ohm and it took a beating and was barely warm. I used to look forward to Amp Test Tuesdays every week, and barely any of the amplifiers did 1000w over rated, and survived the .8 ohm tests. Great video Steve!

It seems like that might mean the skar amps are lower quality. But i'm not sure, what are your thoughts?
