Hi Tom. Level matching sources by playing a white noise sample through synchronized SB3 and Transporter and using a Radioshack sound meter to level match. I have the volume on the SB3 and Transporter set to fixed gain (ie at 100%) and adjust the volume on the preamp to volume match. Like yours, my preamp is able to store separate volume levels for separate inputs so it makes A/B comparisons pretty easy. I am sure that changing out speakers will make a significant difference. I plan on doing this down the road. I did find that the SB3 was somewhat fatiguing to listen to due to unrefined/harsh highs. That seems to have resolved with the Transporter. What subjective differences did you note between the SB3 and Transporter? -- El Duderino ------------------------------------------------------------------------ El Duderino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8171 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61686 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
