Problem with preamp volume control
I just obtained a Clear Audio Virtuoso Ebony v2 cartridge which I love dearly. (I wrote about it in a separate post.)
The only problem with it is it has too high an output for my CJ PV 11 preamp. It is very loud at between 9 and10 o’clock with very little tolerance for changing the level. A small turn brings a big result.
Is there any way of attenuating the preamp to accommodate this situation, so that I have more flexibility in controlling the volume?
Again, the cartridge sounds incredible otherwise.
