[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 568405, member: 555320"] Do you actually understand how a line driver is supposed to be used?? All it supposedly does is help reduce the amount of noise possibly induced by the RCA wires and allowing you to have lower set gain. There are no volume gains from it (well, there shouldn't be. If there are, then the amp's gains either weren't properly set before adding the line driver, or weren't properly adjusted after adding the line driver). With the line driver you have a higher signal voltage, which means that you [I]need to turn the gain down[/I]. The power output should be exactly the same both before adding the line driver and after adding the line driver. Basically you should just be hoping that a line driver will give a little "cleaner" signal (that I highly doubt most people will be able to difference before and after). But if you start out with a crappy signal (quality wise), the line driver isn't going to fix that. [/QUOTE]
