Greetings,
I recently picked up a sweet F20 and I'm wondering why Mitu would of decided on such a low (150mv/5k) output on the fixed outputs. I just installed it and listened to it for a week or so. And thought gee something must be off as the presentation was not well balanced. Like a fat bottom with murky mids and dampened highs. So I looked up the specs and was shocked to find such a low level. So I switched to the variable out(500mv/5k) and that completely changed thing for the better as the cloud has more or less lifted. Nevertheless both seem to be a bit low as I see 1000mv is more of the usual norm with many designs.
Which has me wondering if I shouldn't consider possibly altering the output stage to raise it. Plus I'm debating replacing the final 4.7uf coupling cap to a film type to see if that cleans things up a bit. Of perhaps I should just leave it stock.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Well thanks for the reply David. But I researched 20 respectable tuners that I've owned thru the years prior to making this post and I'm afraid your mistaken. The average is 1000mv. And the TU-X1 is 1250mv. I have a Technics that's 1500mv being the highest.
Frankly this is a moot point and not what I was seeking. Constructive input is always appreciated.
