Smile Re: FM signal boosting

Hi all, thanks again for the advice. I have today fitted an OXi-GOLD 6-way signal booster. This has had a dramatic increase in strength at the tuners. My Kudos has risen from 65% to 89% which is great. The Troughline (valves) though is a bit odd. It seems to be overloading as the sound has a lot of fuzzy distortions in the background. Not terrible but not a pleasant distraction. Can you have too much signal?

Also, and I appreciate to some this will be a daft question but, obviously the signal booster is amplifying the signal. As it is at the bottom of the aerial cable is it amplfying warts and all or just the pure element of the signal? The sound output is very good and I'm more than happy with the result but just curious about the theory?

I know, I know. I do have a few lives left though
