[QUOTE="EFFENDI, post: 500849, member: 555674"] higher voltage preout just helps to get the audio signal to your amp via rca connection with less distortion and interference. the difference is hard to detect by human ear. even between something with 2V outs compared to 8V preouts. (think of it as a higher wattage radio antenna- the higher power the clearer signal with less interference, static, and noise) let me remind everyone that SQ is based all in the installation and quality of gear you are running.... a crappy amp will take a low voltage signal and make it sound like louder crap. a decent amp with a low voltage signal will make it sound like something decent. now take a crappy amp and feed it a higher voltage signal, well it might sound like louder crap but louder crap that you can at least bear to listen to. a decent amp with a higher voltage signal will sound a lot better than any other combination. that is an exaggeration but you get the idea. most often you will not be able to detect the difference in sound quality, in fact it is less likely if you are running decent equipment. a higher preout voltage - well you pay more to have a source unit with them, but the difference is negotiable.
