Chapter 7. Preamplifiers and Input Signals
7.1. Requirements
Most high-quality audio systems are required to operate from a variety of signal inputs, including radio tuners, cassette or reel-to-reel tape recorders, compact disc players, and more traditional record player systems. It is unlikely at the present time that there will be much agreement between the suppliers of these ancillary units on the standards of output impedance or signal voltage that their equipment should offer.
Except where a manufacturer has assembled a group of such units, for which the interconnections are custom designed and there is in-house agreement on signal and impedance levels—and, sadly, such ready-made groupings of units seldom offer the highest overall sound ...
