[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1409139, member: 555320"] That's a myth. Assuming the amplifier has no audible noise, and assuming you properly adjust the gain correctly in each instance.....there is no audible difference between a 1V preamp level and an 8V preamp level. As was mentioned, the only thing a higher preamp output voltage does is allow you to decrease the amplifier gain, [I]possibly[/I] decreasing noise. But if you have no noise with 2V, then going to 8V (for example) will do absolutely [B]nothing[/B] for you. And adding a line driver to an already noise-free system for the sole purpose of increasing the voltage level could actually do more harm than good. All it would do is [I]increase[/I] your chances of having noise in the system by adding another component into the signal path. 9 out of 10 times they are a waste of money. Basically, yes. Increases the voltage of the preamp signal. Don't buy any [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
