That's pretty much exactly the system I would suggest for friends who aren't audiophiles and don't want to spend a million dollars.
Plinius 8200 mk2, really low volume!!
I just put together a very basic, modest 2 channel vinyl system like this:
Plinius 8200 mk2
Rega P5/ Ortofon Blue mm
Vandersteen 1Ci
I am using the built in phono section, and I don't think this system plays very loud at all, as a matter of fact I know it doesn't! I have tried using both gain sections with no noticeable difference in volume. Am I missing something? The Vandersteens are pretty efficient speakers and the Plinius has about 175 watts, I thought it would play much louder--I'm not talking about concert level volumes but this system sound like the sound just drops out of the front of the speakers, no punch. Is it possible there is something wrong with the Plinius integrated? Thank you in advance for your thoughts---
