Currently running the amp with my Quicksilver line stage preamplifier, I almost have to max out the volume to get decent sound.Any suggestions at around 1000k thx
There is a Supratek Syrah on US Audiomart that would do the trick if you can convince him to ship or make arrangements to pick it up. Has gain of 26db at max setting.
With 90db speakers the 18db gain from the Quicksilver line stage should be more than enough to drive the First Watt amp as loud as you can stand. I suggest you check your connections especially the output level on the Audiolab streamer.
