So just as the title says… I’m trying to see what the idea setup will be once I get my C1100 next week. Right now while I’m waiting I’m running 6v directly into the MC462 Amp balance connections… using the digital volume on the Rossini, I’m not able to get much louder than -15db before it gets too loud… so I assume with the pre-amp, I’ll want the volume set to 0.0db so as not to lose any resolution, in which case will 6v be crazy loud on the C1100 preamp? too much voltage?
I read somewhere that the normal line in voltage is 2v for most pre-amps, and that some struggle with higher voltages, but I’m curious if anyone here is using a McIntosh tube pre-amp and can tell me what they’re doing?
