sources to avoid the situation where I'm having to switch between a 2V
nominal source and a 150mV nominal one and having to wind the volume
setting up or down around 20dB just to correct for this. This is largely
because I tend to use a mix of 'old fashioned' and 'more modern' sources,
though.


Heh heh - I've got amps on the outputs of the DVD recorder, Freeview tuner
- both fed into the TV - and an amp on the output of the new TV to bring
that up to pukka DIN standard phonos of the old Philips this has replaced.
Otherwise it would have meant altering everything else feeding the main
amp, which like you I spent some time getting as near right as possible...
