You have an impedance mismatch between the amp and preamp. Just add in a pair of Rothwell attenuators … 20 ohm might be best in your case. Low cost and no sonic downside. If you hate them (you won’t) you are out $30
Volume Control Too Sensitive
My latest issue:
As some of you may be aware I have a Bryston BP-26 preamp connected to a pair of Classe CAM-200 monoblock amps.
My issue is that I have very little range on my volume knob. If looked at as a clockface, I can only go from 6 to 7 using XLR cables, and 6 to 8 using RCA cables.
Not only is this lack of range annoying using the remote control, but I question if the sound is compromised by the fact that I’m just using such a small portion of the volume knob.
Any thoughts on this?
