My recollection is that line level input sensitivities around the 100mV mark was quite common back in the 70s. Most devices such as FM tuners and tape decks output fairly modest voltage levels. It was only when CD players arrived on the scene in the 80s that outputs of 1V and 2V became commonplace.

For a 2V input, 10V is only a little over 12dB of headroom, which is hardly adequate. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55023 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
