Is the switch in the back set to an amplifier only position?
Pre volume control - hardly moves but volume rises a lot
I have older Pioneer equipment.
I hooked my sc - 700 Pre to my sa - 700 Integrated amp.
The amp has separate pre out and main in.
It works ok but the Pre volume control just doesn't seem right.
I only move the control a tiny amount for the volume to rise a huge amount.
The volume has 10 loudness marks and I can not even get to the first mark and the volume is very loud.
Any thoughts?

+1 gs5556 good pickup. Yes the switch should be up to separate, in case you missed it. If not you have too much gain get the Schiit. http://www.radiomuseum.org/images/radio/pioneer_corporation/stereo_amplifier_sa_700_468494.jpg http://www.njuskalo.hr/image-bigger/hi-fi-komponente/pojacalo-pioneer-700-slika-48478974.jpg Cheers George |
Pappylon, you didn't mention your speakers but, as George says, their efficiency contributes to this as well. Another option that hasn't been discussed is the addition of a pair of attenuators between the pre and power amps. I have successfully used the Rothwells in the past. They come in several values (different amounts of attenuation). http://www.rothwellaudioproducts.co.uk/html/attenuators.html Dick |
