Hot-knifing hash while listening to Robin Trower- "Too Rolling Stoned". Big time.

Nealy anything by Gregg Karukas. 
Which attenuators do I want to use?
Received the Channel Islands VPC 3 passive controller today. Put it between the CDP and preamp with excellent results. Attenuates the signal so I can use my preamp volume control with better precision. The unit disappears. I don't even know it's t...

George Winston, "Autumn", "December", "Winter into Spring", etc. 
Which attenuators do I want to use?
Their manual is in error as well.I'm waiting for delivery of the CI passive controller which should work nicely between the CDP and preamp. It's been rough listening without attenuation. Three steps on the volume control is too loud for my wife, t...

After talking with John at NHT, they sent a return authorization number for a refund. Nice folks to deal with.Will be trying something else in the near future.

My preamp is a Classe DR-5. The manual doesn't state the output impedance. As far as the return policy, I'm waiting for Monday to communicate back with them. As far as your offer to purchase it, I thank you for that, but don't feel you need to, or... 
Which attenuators do I want to use?
Bought the NHT PVC Pro, put it between the amp and preamp, and it attenuated the way it should, the way I want it to...but...now the music sounds compressed. The highs have faded, sound muffled, and the bottom end is now more pronounced. Emailed N... 
help a new brother out. power supply confusion.
I had a Monster HTS3500 MKII Power Center (conditioner) that took the brunt of around 220 volts AC after a racoon zapped himself on my incoming power line, shorting out the transformer. Fried the unit and the raccoon, but the unit saved everything...

Was able to order a NHT PVC Pro online fron their website, so they must still be selling the inventory.
