AVGUYGEORGE, BY REDUCING THE OUTPUT LEVEL OF THE THETA, YOU HAVE GREATER CONTROL OF THE VOLUME LEVEL. ALSO, YOU GET THE BEST CHANNEL BALANCE WHEN THE VOLUME CONTROL IS AT THE 10 OR 11 O'CLOCK POSITION ON MOST PREAMPS. ALTHOUGH I AM NOT SURE THIS IS TRUE FOR THE C.A.T., SINCE IT USES INDIVIDUAL RESISTORS FOR EACH CLICK OF THE VOLUME CONTROL. CAN ANYONE COMMENT ON THIS?
THETA GEN 5A OUTPUT GAIN CHANGE MOD
THE THETA GEN 5A HAS A FACTORY SET OUTPUT LEVEL THAT IS HIGHER THAN AVERAGE. THIS RESTRICTS THE NUMBER OF CLICKS THAT I CAN TURN ON THE VOLUME CONTROL OF MY PREAMP (C.A.T. SIGNITURE MK3). THETA HAS A GAIN REDUCTION MODIFICATION. HAS ANYONE DONE THIS MOD? WILL IT AFFECT SOUND QUALITY?
