extravaganza, that’s a great idea and I will take a look at it, however my issue is not exactly where I am on the dial. It’s more how a little bit of rotation goes from inaudible to a max volume I am able to use. Since my 9x12 listening room is the only place I’ve ever used it, I can’t be sure what it would be like in a large room. Maybe then I would be using a lot of the range on the dial. No real way for me to know that though. We have a great repair facility locally, ABL electronics. Maybe they could tell me if there is some kind of switch or dial internally, that wouldn’t normally be adjusted by the end user. I think the answer is no but it’s worth a try
