[QUOTE="MrBlack, post: 1478324, member: 555146"] The major benefit of feeding a higher voltage signal into your amplifier is that it allows you to set the voltage gain lower on your amplifier, thus giving a cleaner signal through to your speakers. But as long as you're running a clean signal to and from the amplifier and everything is set properly, I doubt anyone here could hear the difference between a gain matched system that was fed a 2v signal or a 4v one. Back in the day, anything above 500 mV (1/2v) was rare, and you could still get a clean signal, although at times it could be challenging. [/QUOTE]
