RE: iPod Volume (too low!)

I don't own a 164, but I knows iPods.

Bottom line...

The signal going into your stereo's amplifier from the iPod is pretty weak. We are talking about a device that is designed to run on a battery for 10 hours and drive earbuds.

If that is not acceptable, consider an amplifier between the iPod and your stereo (and IT'S amplifier).

Headroom.com sells portable amps that have to be experienced to be appreciated. Many would consider this overkill, but it will solve your iPod issues forever.

Just a thought from an owner of 7 Macs and 5 iPods.
