[QUOTE="dsw1204, post: 8547073, member: 663807"] I love my 8V Eclipses, also. I've got a few of them in a closet and will keep running them for a long time. You know, it's not just the 8 volt preamp output that is so great with Eclipses. It's also (and just as important) the 55 ohm line out impedance. I was reading specs on a Sony C90 and they were bragging how low their line output impedance was and it was 200 ohms. And, that head unit had a $1400 price tag on it when it first came out, I do believe. But, I think we are all missing the point here. The OP was inquiring about the amp, not the head unit. And, to tell you the truth, I am not sure if an amp with input sensitivity of up to 8 volts would help him with his issue. The hiss he is hearing, I feel, is probably an installation issue. But, maybe somebody better informed than me can help him. [/QUOTE]
