Reading this forum, when I bought my Transporter I initially started from its built-in volume. Then, since I did not use preamp for stereo path, and since the volume was too high, I started to play with gain. Frankly, my Parasound A21 amp has these on its back. Yet, it was not practical to change these controls. Since my wife does not like loud music, I needed to keep volume under 50, and that simply made the music sound flat. After few months, I realized that having surround preamp I can use it for stereo as well. And bingo, I connected my stereo source to its bypass inputs, and got everything back - bass and imaging.. My wife is my SPL - she is happy, and I can listen to music :-) Why do you think BTW that both John Atkinson from Stereophile, and Steven Stone from Absolute Sound recommend putting Transporter on 100? BTW, both are excellent sound engineers.. -- michael123 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ michael123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77725 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
