I'm probably just too dense, but are you saying that the volume control on the LS3 has no effect on sound level? Are you sure that you aren't connecting the LS3 "tape out" instead of the "pre-amp outputs" to the DNA-1? I'm obviously missing something in the description. Good luck.
volume control problem
I previously posted 'mixing old and new components.' I now have a system set up consisting of a Creek DAC 60 and CD 60, and Audio Research LS3 amplifier, a McCormack DNA-1 power drive and B&W CDM7NTC speakers. When I attempt to play a CD, the volume is earsplittingly loud and changing settings (gain dial, mute vs operate) on the amplifier has no effect on the volume. This problem is not addressed in the Audio Research manual as far as I can see.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas about what the problem could be?
