If I was not clear in my original post, the internal gain setting was set by a Joule technician to its highest setting (measured at 15db). The gain control on the front (the volume control) is what I can turn up 25-30% on 2 of my sources and up to 40% on my other sources before the speakers get too loud.
If Preamp Gain is Set to High-What Consequences?
I can turn the gain on my Joule Electra LA100 mk2 preamp to about 25-30% with 2 of my sources (transports). With my other sources (macbook pro and Don Allen Marantz changer) I can use up to 40% of the gain without the dbs getting too loud. (Bryston 14B SST amp/Mirage OMD28 speakers/ Krell SACD MK3 transport/ Jolida JD100 transport- W4S DAC2)
What if any are the consequences to the sound quality of the system as a result of the gain of the preamp? (measured by a technician at 15db)
Any effects on midrange-highs-bass weight-resolution-soundstage-imaging?
