[QUOTE="creyc, post: 2437325, member: 570559"] By the way, your high quality audio CD's were mastered and recorded on 4dBu recording equipment, (at best) which equates to about 1.3V RMS. It's what an amplifier is for. Just set the gains correctly. A crap signal at 100v is no better than a crap signal at 2v. A higher voltage merely extends your transmission distance. If you have very, very long RCA's, and junk ones at that, then you may need to run a higher voltage from your source so you actually have anything left by the time you get to the amp. But this notion that a higher voltage is better is flawed, because you shouldn't be having a huge voltage drop in the first place to need the 8v preouts. Band-aids aren't the solution... [/QUOTE]
