[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2811809, member: 555320"] I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the relationship between the gain, preout voltage and clipping. You won't get clipping from having too low of a preout voltage. If you properly set the gain, no clipping will occur. Doesn't matter if your preout voltage is .2V; properly set the gain and you will have zero clipping. Most amplifiers are designed to produce full power output with that low of a preamp input voltage...this is specifically what the gain is there for. To allow full power output over a wide range of input voltages without clipping. Having a higher voltage preout does not reduce your chances of clipping. What will substantially reduce your chances of clipping is properly setting the gain. But increasing the voltage will do nothing about clipping if you properly set the gain in both instances.
