Maybe I misunderstand what you mean but like thumb5 wrote, also in my opinion it's purely the 6dB higher power output that you hear when you use a stereo pre-out. The signals are/seem to be, apart of the "loudness" fully identical. In other words, whether I use a mono or a stereo pre-out the signals are identical, the stereo output signal is merely 6dB's louder. edit: did you see my last post on the previous page?

I agree with this/this is indeed my conclusion.
