Is the tape loop output on an integrated amp line level? I always thought it was, but I want to make sure while subwoofer shopping for my daughter.
Dumb (but easy) question

Yes but it is not controlled by the volume control. However, she should not be using it for a subwoofer because, as she varies the volume for the main speakers, the sub will stay at full volume and will not be balanced with them.Kal Rubinson

Subwoofer has its own volume control, but I see what you're saying. Hmmm. I hate running the speaker wires through it, but that may be the alternative.Lee

No, it's a Cambridge Audio Topaz AM 5. It sounds nice for the $100 it cost, but there are zero frills. No remote, no line level outputs, no DAC. I love my daughter, but the responsibility just isn't there yet to spend too much on amplifiers and such. LOLLee

Then I wouldn't obsess about running the main speaker wires through the sub. :WKal Rubinson

Oh, I wasn't too concerned about the effect on SQ, just the extra wires and routing. My Marantz broke just as I was preparing to upgrade her rig (Lepai and Pioneer SP-BS22 bookshelf speakers) So now she'll have the Cambridge Audio integrated and a pair of Pioneer SP-FS52 floorstanders. I ended up getting the other end of the Topaz line (SR20) as a stopgap until after the holiday/birthday season.Lee
