If an unattenuated Transporter is hooked directly to the amp and the amp's volume is set such that the loudest volume on the TP is within comfort range isn't that the same as attenuating the TP? This is how I had mine for the longest time. The volume on my amp (no remote control, old tubes) was set to about 60% which was comfortable since the unattenuated TP and my phono were at approximately the same volume. This allowed me to utilize the TP as a pre for both the digital stream as well as the CD-T. Granted a preamp would allow me to level the line ins and outs but I prefer a short and unimpeded signal path. (Since moving my TP into a system with no phono (& remote volume on the amp) I have attenuated it and locked the digital outputs to 100%.) -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.
