preout voltage...

Not louder.
Cleaner signal because you won't have to amplify it as much.

Not even that. The preamp stage of the amplifier makes sure that the level of the signal going to the output stage of the amp is within a certain range of voltages. Unless the preamp of the amplifier is junk, the difference between a nominal 2v signal and a nominal 5v signal is not even approaching audible and is likely not even measurable. The 5v signal is less susceptible to induced noise, but a decent set of signal cables make that moot as well. Real answer to the difference: marketing. People who don't know assume that more is better and then that myth is propagated by people who think they know how stuff works and use false information to justify their belief.

It really only has a noise effect when you start to dip below 1v or so. After that point, your SNR starts to drop once you start cranking the gain to get the desired power level.

the noise is like a hissin sound right usually behind the music?

yup.

everything will get more volts to it thus making it louder and better that was what i was told. More pre out volts the better

See what helotaxi said...

Oh indeed... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

What pre-outs do you have?

Uh um, twas just a joke spinning off Spinal Tap. I actually don't know the voltage on my pre-outs and don't care to. All I worry about is what the DMM tells me when i set my gains //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
