How to tame remote volume control on TAD-150

Fixed in line attenuators such as made by Rothwell will give you another 10db of movement in your volume control. The cost about $60 for a pair and can be found on the 'net. They have been mentioned here before - you should find them if you do a search.

I got this off Paul's website regarding the TAD-60:

"The TAD-60 volume control is generally turned fully right when using a TAD-150 preamplifier to drive it. Fully right bypasses the volume control creating a direct line connection to the first tubes. If you find the preamplifier volume control rotation is not wide enough, try turning the TAD-60 volume control down slightly. This makes you turn the preamp volume control more to achieve the same volume – giving you a more user friendly range. Generally most designers try to obtain a 12:00 setting for full volume. Numerous system variables: source output voltage, amplifier gain and speaker efficiency affect how far you need to turn the volume knob to achieve a certain level."

I am waiting for the exact same equipment from Paul. When did your gear arrive and where you on the second tier? I am really looking forward to hearing this gear.

Ok, I gotta ask. Is it your mother or your wife who dictates this?

i would get some fixed, inline attenuations. give Ric at EVS a call. Else, can the manufacter modify the preamp for less gain, or perhaps provide a different pot with the taper control you want?
