I would try to position the controls on the amp such that I advance the volume control on the preamp to about the 2 o'clock position for the loudest desired system volume. Hopefully this can be done such that the attenuation on the amp is minimal.
Manual gain controls on Hafler 9180
Yes folks, you read it right here! I have a Hafler 9180. "Still running after all these years..." (since 1994)
Can afford to replace but the sound pleases me so it remains.
Enough background and introduction: the point of this post>
I know nothing about audio electronics, but am willing to learn...)
The Hafler has a manual gain control for each channel located on the front panel. Is there an "optimal" setting for these? What sound differences will I hear by adjusting these one way or another?
Thanks to all learned folks responding to my query.!
