[LAU] M-Audio Audiophile Line Level Inputs

[Bearcat M. Sandor]

What makes a consumer level pre-amp different? I know some pre-amps "pop" and 
i know quite a few subwoofers that "thump" when you first turn them on and 
they never blow anything right? That would suggest that every time you are 
turning on your Sony you run the risk of blowing something. Quite a few have 
delays, but not all do.
