16 vs. 8 Ohm Taps on SET Amplifier (Drive Units)

The normal Ladyday is spec'd currently at 1.5v sensitivity. I am guessing that is what your version has too.

That is what I currently have in my Welborne DRDs and that works well for me, with my passive TVC.

1.5 volts is a bit below the 2 volt CD standard, and matches my lower voltage phono preamp well.

0.5 volts is very sensitive. Not many sources have 0.5 volts output. With a 0.5 volt amp, any more output voltage than 0.5 volts gets "thrown away" in the preamp at the full output of the amp. Now TVCs are much better at throwing away gain than resistors, but still...

Even the Twindac is greater than 0.5 volt output.
