mine was set to low  I believe (down) I toggled it up &
immediately it was louder ..was at almost 40 volume  down ..
put it up & had to turn the vol down to 20 something

sounds great

Just wait. 👍🏻

hey guys I will make my own thread later but here is my first initial impression based on the 2-3 hours i've listened to it:
sounds amazing right out of the box. sweeter sounding mids, more air and separation between the instruments, more clarity, more depth. i will do some a/b between the pass tonight to figure out which really is the better amp but I am experiencing a more emotional connection to the music due to the sweeter sounding midrange.
if you compare the unit to my pass stack, which costed approx $11,000 USD retail in 2015 when they were purchased (not by me, but more esteemed members of this community who I purchased from them) but yeah if you compare it to that, this is an incredible bargain considering it quite possibly out performs the pass stack I have.

expect lots more info soon

my unit was switched to lo gain from the off set, im currently using lo gain. ive found that anything above 20 on high gain is too loud, low gain lets me fine tune the volume with a bit more finesse. though when im stressed im much more sensitive to sound, its possible i will prefer high gain later on.

Welcome to the club. 👍😘

on reflection you you may be right about gain. On high, the steps are not quite fine enough so I think I’ll switch!
