Peachtree Decco Preamp Issue????

Thank you for your response. I am using fairly nice rca interconnects from the Decco to the amp and speaker are connected to Adcom.

I noticed this issue a while back when I used the line level rca jacks to hook up my subwoofer. When I had the sub connected via speaker jacks along with mains it sounded fine, then with the sub connected via line level...I had to turn the sub volume and gain WAY up to acheive the same volume response.

The Directv volume is turned all the way up and same issue?

Signalpath said something about they may be able to adjust the gain on the Decco?

Argggg?!?

It sounds as though you are doing everything right. The Decco seems to be the culprit.

i have the decco as a pre with a emotiva amp and it performs fine. i suspect the decco has an output issue. do you have another amp or a friend who can bring one over to just test with?

No, I'm the only person I know that has this obsession with audio equipment.

: )

I am going to wait and talk with the Signalpath folks this coming week. It just bites because I have been so excited about adding the external amp.

I will say that even though I have to turn the volume pot up...I can tell this amp sounds really good. Seems more liquid and refined. I can actually hear the vibration from the guitar pick moving across the strings on "Brother" from the Alice in Chains "Unplugged" recording.

"I've always thought that this live recording was one of the best sounding ever!"

: )

have you solved this issue yet? just curious. thanks john
