[QUOTE="joetama, post: 2269020, member: 564641"] It's a different gain structure... Simple... You DON'T NEED HIGH VOLTAGE PRE-OUTS!!! That is a car audio/pro-audio myth... What is so hard to understand about Low-Drive = Efficiency = Clarity!!! Less voltage = less distortion, less voltage = less crosstalk, smaller components = faster components, faster components = more accurate ones. Pro-audio uses XLR and Higher Voltages for a simple reason distance. In a home audio setup most of your cables are going to be 3-4 feet max vs. a 50ft XLR cable which is sending ultra low voltage microphone signals. Also, the use of the XLR and higher voltage eliminates the antenna effect any long cable creates. If you are seriously running more than 1Volt in your home audio setup you have got a problem somewhere. I always learned from just about every person who has had any success in building PA systems signal flow is one of the most important things. So, that also flows into home audio, reason home audio amps don’t have knobs. Yes given a lot of high end gear has higher voltage pre-outs, any one guess why???? ANYONE??? ANYONE??? Some higher end low gain amps need that extra boost on the input. BUT, I can promise that you don't need it. And remember this, if you input is 750 mV and you will reach your maximum gain on the pre-amp before you will reach 4 or 8 volts. Beat, do you run you stuff at 0 db??? Or wide open???? I hope not. By the way, specs don’t always mean it’s the holy grail either. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Rotel is for n00bs??? Rotel IS NOT for n00bs!!! I'll put any Rotel equipment up against just about anything else. Why don't you pull you head out of your ***? I maybe conceded and a jerk sometimes but people who listen to my stuff don't disagree with me after they listen. I've only been doing this shit my ENTIRE life. I think I might know a little about what I’m talking about. Bigger is usually never the answer... [/QUOTE]
