Question 1

How would this perform between an ipod and a tube amplifier?

Accepted Answer

It will boost signal same as with regular amplifier.

Question 2

Where can I get an owners manual for this?  I purchased it in 2014, but just now need to use it,

Accepted Answer

Its pretty straight forward and I did look on line and did find a manual. Just connect the input to the in terminals and the output to your pre-amp or receiver input and you have additional gain that is controlled with the volume / gain knob on the front. I used it because the audio output from the customers satellite receiver was too low. He had to crank up the volume whenever he wanted the audio from that source. When he switched to another input the volume was way to high. I was able to balance the output from the satellite to be at the same level as the other sources. It works well

Question 3

Will this work if I hook it up to the pre outs of my stereo receiver going to a Bluetooth transmitter?

Accepted Answer

It would depend on what type of source the blue-tooth transmitter needs.  This would be a line level analog type signal that would need an amplifier of some type after the signal source.  My opinion is that as long as your blue-tooth is designed to receive an analog signal and convert it to a blue-tooth radio signal then yes it should work. I would add the pre-amp outs may or may not be going through the equalizer.

Question 4

Does this work for video/audio capture feed for gaming or cable/satellite tv?

Accepted Answer

This is an audio pre-amp and does not have any connection or value for video use. It's primary purpose is to increase signal strength from ear bud output of mp3, smart phones, etc. to connect to an audio power amplifier which does not have its own audio pre-amp. It's not a stand-alone audio amplifier. If you're using capture feed for gaming or cable/satellite TV they generally have line-out connections which is exactly what the output of the iBoost is. Hope this helps.
