Volume issue

Hi, I recently hook up my 2 channels system again and found out something I didn't notice before. The problem is whatever sources I input to the pre amp and power amp which are Audio Research SP10 and D125, I can only turn the volume about 9-10 o'clock position. The sound is too lound from my B&W 805. Anything wrong? Any idea?

Thanks.

If there is a degredation in the signal from the insertion of a Rothwell 10db attenuator I really don't hear it. It is after all just a single resistor (encased in a rlug with male and female RCA's) put in the line. You place it at the amp and there is minimal, if any change, in the impedence values either. You can buy them on the internet for about $60 a pair. Use Google to ID a merchant. If you can't find one let me know.

I was going to buy the Rothwell some time ago and a smart and trusted friend advised me of how cheap its parts are so just a caution you can do better (he made me a pair for $100 that actually had $100 in parts each res was $8.00 I think.)

hey Newbee, do you know where I can get a pair in NYC. I mean if it doesn't fix my problem, I can return it.
thanks

Sorry, haven't got a clue. I doubt that they are retailed by B&M stores.
