Not going to suggest calling Belles. Will suggest calling a dealer for Rothwell 10dB attenuators & installing them on your amp's input. Reduced gain & increased s/n ratio.
Ideas for reducing gain on a Belles 21A pre-amp?
Using a Belles 21A pre-amp with a Belles Reference 150A amp,
Silverline Audio Prelude speakers Sensitivity: 91 dB, (but actually measured lower by Stereophile at 87.7).
Getting too much gain. It's usually loud enough at 9:00 on the volume knob.
I'll be doing surgery to it shortly to install the Auricap upgrade. While I got it apart I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar enough with the circuit to suggest a mod to lower the gain a bit?
I know people are going to suggest contacting Belles, but I couldn't get much help last time I called them, so I'm not going to bother.
