Tad 1000's quiet?

Something is definitely wrong. I had a tad 60 and a 150 and at 10 o'clock on my preamp my 86 db proacs were very loud. Have you turned the gain all the way up on the amps?

Has it always been this way or did it start recently?

Bad tubes? Its a pretty basic setup and it has been like this since I purchased both the TAD pre and amp. Was pretty exited to get the equipment hooked up and quickly bummed at the output. I think something has got to be off.....

Have you used either the pre or the amps with different equipment to narrow down the problem? I would try running a source straight to the amps since the have a gain control to see if its the amp. Also what tubes are you using in the preamp?

I would have to check the tubes but they are the recommended types. I have used my TT, iPhone, laptop. Fresh out of sources. All tubes illuminate but I do not have a tube tester.

Did you run the iPhone straight into the amp bypassig the preamp?
