As Rick pointed out, the slight rise in the noise floor does also bring with it a higher gain, so in actual usage the noise floor is a non issue.How much higher are we talking? I mean, I have 67 year old ears, in a 20' by 19' room, and don't even listen to movies THAT loud. I was reading the review on the Emotiva XPS-1 phono preamp, which I've had for years, and realized I've never turned up the volume without music playing to hear if I got noise from the power supply that Amir mentions (I do, but obviously it has never bothered me).
