Suggestions for boosting Audio to recording equip ...

What you need is a line level preamplifier like the kind for turntables. With it you could increase the gain to the distant amplifier.

I was thinking the same thing, but the only one I've run across so far is non-adjustable

AP-25

I'll have to ask them if I can try it out on a returnable basis
The splitters I'm using are junk, so it's causing the degradation

Thanks for the input guys

Thanks RD

I just placed the order

Hopefully that fixes it. Did you try just boosting the coax signal coming in? I have one of these you can for free if you want to try it:

Thanks for the offer Aqua

It's the RCA audio signal from the downstairs cable box that is lacking
If I record from the upstairs box all is normal

The signal from downstairs is split to the TV there and to the DVD-r upstairs

I'm hoping this does the trick and if not, I'll live with turning up the amp when watching recordings from downstairs

a phono pre-amp freq response is not flat plus high input impedance, might be better off looking for just a line level pre-amp
