Audible Ilusions Preamp


Hi..

I am "still" looking at different Preamps for my system.. a McCormack DNA 1 Rev A and Maggie 1.6 speakers.

The AI 3A or L-1 is on my short list.

Just how BAD is the volume control. How many steps or DB change is there per step? Do the newer models (expecially the Line stage with remote) solve this problem?

I understand this is a higher gain preamp and I may not have a good range on the volue control.

thanks

I sold an Audible 3A for the very problem you are concerned with...volume steps were too big at the low level positions. I too am interested in this question and an additional inquiry...does the Audible have problems with the stepped attenuators? Several sources have indicated that the volume controls began to "snap" with each change of position after a period of time...anybody have experience with this situation? It would be nice if AI has improved these areas...I thought that it was a great sounding preamp and the MC Gold phono board was outstanding.
Thanks!
