TCC TC-780LC Stereo Line Level Amp / Booster with iPod Jack
From TCC
Do you have a line level source (TV audio, MP3 player, video game etc) which simply isn't loud enough? One that forces you to crank up your receiver or amp volume control, simply to match your other sources? Or perhaps you need to run a long line between your TV audio line out and your receiver on the other side of the room, but find too much level is lost, or worse, interference from hum or a radio station is induced. This product is the fix. The TC-780LC provides up to 20dB of gain with any line level source, allowing longer cable runs or that "bump" you need to cure low volume issues. Used in series following one of our phono preamps (see the middle illustration in the connection diagram image), the TC-780LC can be used to compensate for low output phono cartridges (B&O MMC series owners, take note!), so that you don't have to crank the volume every time you play a record. Or you can use it to add a volume control between a line level source and a power amp which has no level adjustment of its own. The 5-pin DIN in/out jacks match those found on older European brands including Bang & Olufsen, Tandberg and Revox, while the RCA jacks match virtually everything else. Connecting to the front panel miniplug jack automatically bypasses the rear inputs, allowing temporary hookup of iPods and MP3 players for listening or recording. Now available in both BLACK and SILVER finish.

Just What the Doctor Ordered
I wanted my dvd player to play louder thru my speakers. I bought this gadget, connected to my dvd player, then to my speakers. The sound shook the room. Mission accomplished!
Perfect!
Have a 50" plasma and use an Insignia (Best Buy) Blu-Ray DVD player hooked up to my home theater system. It works great except for those movie moments that are so stirring you simply want to crank up the sound to make the walls shake, you can't. The audio output of the player is so low that I nearly have to fully crank up the audio amp to the level I want. Bought this stereo line booster and it is absolutely PERFECT! Turn up the output to halfway and now I have the sound feeding into the audio system at the level it should be. For $50 I can finally enjoy my blu-rays as they were intended to be enjoyed!
Incredible!
Just got this little booster and it is absolutely fantastic. It solves my problem perfectly, which was trying to balance the line out of a Blu-Ray DVD player located across the room from the amp and other components. The DVD players seem to put out a totally anemic stereo line out compaired to other components. This little device solves both that fact and the 20' RCA cable run which was picking up lots of hum if I cranked the amp up.
Now I have the little booster located right at the BD player, and right next to my chair so I can adjust it at will. The sound is wonderful, clean, and no more hum. Totally great.
