[QUOTE="Scubadude, post: 821976, member: 17459"] I for one dont understand the gain obsession. In the good old days CD players had a standard output voltage of 2V. 5V is crazy high and just another manifestation of the loudness war. I happily use the 20dB gain [u]cut[/u] on the Phonitor and dabble in the 3 to 5 o'clock region for normal listening. I suggest to download an SPL meter app to see what you are subjecting your ears to. Regular blasts of 100dB+ will cause permanent hearing loss. [/QUOTE]
