Gonk, thanks for the link to the review. Now, can anyone explain "pre-out voltage" to me? The review mentions that for the 1070 it is only 0.76V RMS, whereas 1.0V is preferred and 2.0V is the "benchmark specification." My old Adcom tuner-preamp has a 2.0V rated output with a 10.0V peak output. What effect (if any) does pre-out voltage have on SPL, S/N ratio, dynamic range, amplifier performance, and most importantly, quality of the music? If I get a 1070, I will use it with an Adcom GFA 555-II amp for the front L&R channels. Is there any way to predict whether they would be a good match? Thanks.
