Hi all,
I have a Sunvalley SV-Pre1616D preamp that I'd like to upgrade the level,
balance, and input controls on. And possibly a gain attenuator. I've been leaning toward Gold point for the Volume and input controls.
I have an Elekit TU-8600s amp (which is technically an integrated amp with its own volume control).
So with the amp and preamp I have more gain in the system than preferred.
I’ve been setting the 8600 volume at around 12:00 and controlling the volume with the SV-Pre1616D. The distortion is audible lower than when the volume is maxed on the 8600.
I’d prefer to keep a stereo volume and balance control.
So basically I’m wondering is anyone knows of a quality balance control and if it’s possible to install a gain control. There isn’t a lot of room in/on the enclosure but was thinking, with a small-ish dial, I could put on the top right.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe
