Cambridge 640A V2 Volume Control Issue

I have a Cambridge Audio 640A V2 integrated amp and was wondering if anyone has the same problem with I have with the volume control. When I increase or decrease volume with the remote, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to get it to the loudness I need. If I just tap the up/down button to make a very small change, it overshoots and I end up getting too much volume, or too little than what than what I need. The best way for me to describe what is happening is to say that the control is sloppy or impercise. Also, when I use the volume wheel, it is very sensitive. It only takes a very small adjustment with the wheel, to get a big change in volume. I welcome any comments from anyone that has used this amp.

I know exactly what you are talking about ... only I have a similar issue with the Outlaw RR2150 receiver. In the case of the Outlaw, it was reported in a number of magazine reviews and the Outlaw forums, so it is no big secret. It gets annoying, especially when I don't feel like getting up and I try tapping the remote, but it gets too loud anyway. Check out this thread , as it mentions the Cambridge Audio about 2/3 of the way down.
