??? 5V compared to 3V ???

Have you ever heard someone say the "level" on your amp is not a volume knob!

Now you know what they mean. Your "level" should be matched to the level of your RCA's. Therefore if your RCA level has increased, your amp level should be decreased, and the same volume reamains.

There are plenty of knobs who kill amps by ingnoring this because the level does essentially mean turn it up more and it goes louder. However when the amp level is cranked your amp thinks that the input voltage is very low and all the circuitry is being over-worked and sound quality is right up the shit.

Always better to oversize your amp and under-run it. Given that this costs more tho, a LOT of ppl elect to blow up a few undersized ones (and ultimately spend twice as much) before coming to the realisation that manufacturers & installers say things for a reason.

As Callifo said, advantage of high level RCA's is mainly less amplification required, so interference picked up is amplified less too.
