Hi Mojo,

In a perfect world, all manufacturers would adhere to the standard line-level preamp and AV preamp output levels in order to ensure compatibility between different components. However, I can tell you from my days bench-testing gear for a Canadian AV magazine, that so-called "standard" output levels varied all over the place. I sometimes measured preamp outputs as high as 7 or 8 volts, which would overload the input section of any amplifier.

It would be interesting to actually measure a Denon or Integra's preamp output levels when Audyssey is operating. . .

Regards,

Alan


You wouldn't happen to know anyone with the tools to pull that off would you? This seems like good information for us to have so there aren't so many returns on a $3800 unit.
