facten did you not notice the rolling eyes at the end of my messageย ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„He likes the setup. But the fact that the salesman said that integrateds were nothing but stripped down AVR's wasn't correct. I guess Nelson Pass has been cheating us all these ...

"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question)
Save some money go to Parts Express Harrison Labs has Attenuator's for about a third of the price. I used the 6db version on my Audio Research SP-16 years ago. Worked like a charm.
