Amir often gives extra points to phono preamps that can cleanly and linearly pass big input spikes from pops on the disk as big output spikes. It's been a while but I recall one of them could output 20 V spikes. And I thought: Why is clipping in a subsequent stage in the system better then clipping in the phono preamp? Or is the goal to pass these spikes with all the dynamic range they represent over the music all the way to the speakers or headphones?
Related question: is there a signal processing technique that can reduce those spikes that's preferable to simple clipping that could be tailored for use in a phono preamp?
