[QUOTE="mikegett, post: 1541716, member: 561005"] I wouldn't go as far as to call the r&d team at Pioneer idiots. It all deepends on the type of preout that they incorporate. Some HU's use the same signal for high and low level outputs. These will benefit from having the internal amp turned off. However, this is one of the poorest quality of low level signals produced. A HU that seperates the low level and high level entirely will result in cleaner preout signals and won't benefit from turning off the internal amp. Without a load on the amp, there will be no heat added. The primary reason that the ultra high end units leave out the internal amp is due to the extra cost in this manor. This is a large factor in Eclipse having such a clean signal to there preouts. With the reduction in cost over the past couple of years, more companies are using the second manor in low and mid range decks. [/QUOTE]
