Volume Control Too Sensitive

I just looked at your amps, not drilling a hole and adding an alps volume control to those beauties.

I still would prefer to gain something while solving the issue, but it would have to be a separate box in front of the amps.

My McIntosh mc2250 had individual L/R volume controls; I added volume control within the case of my antique Fisher 80az mono blocks. Playing straight into those amps was always a treat. Just had VAS fix some Dynaco Mono blocks for my friend, plenty of room inside, adding volume control would have been a good idea now that you make me think of it.

correction: the fisher 80az had level controls, I added an on/off switch to them, they expected to be powered via the control center.

If you are using unbalanced connections, this may work: GT102 VC

OP,

I am really sorry to hear about your problem. I happily have not experienced this kind of issue… well, on a device that did not have a high range / low range switch. I have been following the thread expecting someone to chime in, “Yes, this is because the Bryson…. Xcxddcvfgyml 10volts…. While the Classe…. Shhtcverjkkk… I am sure someone will. This has to be a known incompatibility. These are two well know brands.

What to do? Sell the Bryson… I assume the problem must a lack of adaptability of the preamp, that is it’s function. I would never add additional equipment or deal with the symptoms. Verify the problem is the preamp and get a better one. I have been in this pursuit for 50 years an don’t remember having this problem. But then my memory isn’t what it used to be.

Interesting that all the Denafrips preamps are unity gain (i.e. no gain).
