[mad-user] Clipping

Hi, I've been normalising every track I've encoded to 93% to prevent the clipping messages in MAD. Now I know that some albums even clip at this setting, but 95% don't. However, I was encoding an album today "Yoshinori Sunahara - PAM AM Sound Of 70's" which I had to take right down to 78% before the latest MAD plug-in would count zero clipped samples. Can this really be right? Can someone explain how the filtering process can make such a large difference? Cheers.
