The psychological factor


Since I got a new amplifier a while ago, I have hesitated putting the volume control on the preamp past 12 o’clock because that was never a good choice with previous amps.  I was afraid I would overload the system.  I now find that factor was depriving me of the best sound I could obtain.
Placing it now at 12 or above, I’m now finally enjoying what the amp is truly capable of.
I wonder if anyone else has experienced anything like that.

hilarious MillerCarbon.  You guy's are forgetting the cartridge output, phono stage gain setting, etc., plus if you have a remote control with the volume, of course the knob doesn't move when you raise the volume on the remote. Lastly, every record is recorded differently which sometimes changes the volume at a given setting.

Bottom line, turn it up to where you like and avoid getting hit with things by or screamed at by your wife. My wife is scared to go near the stereo, but she sure as hell knows where the volume knob is ......it's like an unwanted extra remote control.
