Power supply audio output = line level?
« on: February 23, 2012, 09:39:53 PM »
Anyone know for sure what the output level is from a Series I or II power supply audio output? Is it +4 line level? Is it hot enough to drive a power amp without an additional preamp? For example; Instrument > 5 pin cable > power supply > pair of McIntosh MC60's.
