[QUOTE="JLCivic, post: 533051, member: 547424"] Not all Eclipse models have 8V pre outs. They have 3 different series: 3 series: 2.7V/300 ohm pre outs 5 series: 5V/55 ohm pre outs 8 series: 8V/55 ohm pre outs I have owned several brands over the years(pioneer, alpine, kenwood, clarion, 4 Eclipses, and my current deck, the RF 8250). Up until purchasing the 8250, the Eclipses were my favorite. I simply think they sounded better than all the other decks I had owned. Now, as to what makes a deck SOUND better than another....that can be debated. I have seen posts from people who go by specs alone(s/n ratio which, imo, is an utterly useless spec on a cd player). I think a deck can sound better due to: quality of the pre outs dacs used quality of the overall design of the deck quality of parts used in the deck. I trust my ears. If I like the sound of deck A over deck B, for example, the specs are irrelevant. [/QUOTE]
