You are correct, sir! That's what I've been trying to figure out myself. I posted this question previously and didn't get very far. I've yet to call JoLida to ask about it.When I tried to use the "line stage" output (HIGH OUT) the gain was so high you couldn't use it. But when I instead used the "RIAA" level output (LOW OUT) it's more reasonable. Still higher than typical phono stage gains (at least from what I've read and others mentioned) but within a more normal range. So that's what I'm using and it sounds very good.
Don't know what to say other than the HIGH OUT may be, as you said, for passive preamps and their "RIAA" output is actually closer to everyone elses line output. Here's what JoLida's owner's manual states:
"LO out: 200 Millivolt output for use with preamplifier separates."
"HI out: 1.8 volt output to integrated amplifiers or line stage preamplifiers."Doesn't add up from my limited experience. What do you make of it?
