Volume level mystery - can you solve it?
I think the mystery is solved. I used the (tiny) button in the back and everything now seems normal. The moral of the story is, always read the manual no matter how poor it is. Thank you to everyone for your helpful and interesting suggestions. 
Volume level mystery - can you solve it?
One other possible solution to the mystery: from looking at the owner's manual I see that there is a small button on the back of the unit that switches from balanced to unbalanced. I have cabled the unit for unbalanced, but never checked to see wh... 
Volume level mystery - can you solve it?
Gunbei, I no longer have my old amps, but wouldn't higher impedance require turning the volume up higher on the preamp? 
Volume level mystery - can you solve it?

Has anyone tried Nakamichi Soundspace 3?
That runs around $349, though (refurbished for $229 from Hifi.com). Maybe you're better off just plugging a walkman into the basic 88 unit and saving $200. 
Has anyone tried Nakamichi Soundspace 3?
It's a lot less expensive. 
What should I plug my system into?
NAIM recommends something called the Wiremold power strip. There's an interesting piece about power conditioning etc. on their website. See http://www.naimusa.com/power.html. 
Are Linn Tukans a bit on the bright side?
I'm using Linn K400 wire and Linn analogue interconnects. The room isn't a padded cell, but it has a floor rug and is lined with books. Cable and interconnect upgrade suggestions welcome (within reason)! 
Linn's advice about bi-amping; question
Your biamping instructions were perfect, although I had to cannibalize a pair of interconnects from my tuner (how much are Linn analog inteconnects??). The sound is a bit fuller and the bass a little more pronounced, but I wouldn't say I notice an...
