Did the switch to low output improve your situation? Also, you may want to leave it that way for a few days even a week or so. When I first tried the low output I would switch back to the normal, which is obviously louder (cut the volumn back around -15 lower for the normal output BEFORE switching from the low output for comparison sake), trying to hear the differences (in detail, noise level etc, NOT loudness). I believe using the low output I have equal detail with less noise and it took a couple of weeks to get used to differences in the volumn slope. For most situations i now have the volumn from -15 to -5 (1pm to 3pm position) while in the normal output I had the volumn from -30 to -20 (12pm to 1pm).
I did switch to low output and didn't notice an immediate effect. I haven't had much time to listen to music lately, although I have watched a few movies with friends. Other than having to increase the volume, I didn't notice a big change in sound for home theater. I do hear some static coming from my rear speakers, but I can't tell if it is the recording or my amplifier. My speakers are to the rear corners of the room and about 5 feet back from the couch. Sometimes I have static from the rears and other times none. I only comment on this because I have heard that the Sony is generally dead quiet. However, I have my rears trimmed about 3 db higher than normal because I like the surround effects. When I lower it, it becomes less noticeable. I'll have more time this weekend to listen to music and will try to comment on the voltage change. My hunch is that its still the Toshiba player.
