[Duo2400] Re: 2400 audio queries

[Ivan Drucker]

I have gone straight RCA line-level output from a stereo to the line 
level on the 2400 without a stereo preamp -- but if levels do seem low 
(which they are sometimes, depending on the source), then I guess a 
preamp could be helpful, or you could try the headphone output of course. 
I have occasionally gone from a headphone output and gotten good results.

Ivan.
