@lowrider57 Is right check with AN also an AN amp would be a natural partner with your other gear and they make all of their amps in both high and low gain versions.
Low gain amp system matching
Dear Audiogoner,
Need your advise regarding system matching with low gain amplifier.
- Audio Note ANE Spe HE Signature speaker: 98.5 dB when placed in the corner (and that is how it's setup in my room). I believe the impedance of the speaker is above 6 ohm for most of the frequency band.
- Audio Note M3 preamplifier: gain of 15dB with input sensitivity specified as "126mV for 1V output".
- My source/DAC puts out 2V signal.
Given the above, a low gain amp with input sensitivity of 2V for full output would work in my system? The stepped attenuator of M3 has 36 steps.
