James and others, can I get a clinical on the proper use of the gain selections on my new 7BSST
2? ? I have followed the manual's recommendation of 2V because I am using the balanced inputs on the amps. The front end is just one piece--a modified Wadia 861 CD player. There is no outboard pre-amp, just the player, which needs to play between 70 and 100 on its digital volume scale of 0 to 100. This range has worked well for me in terms of listening levels, and is recommended by Wadia in order to send all of the digital information. I am also advised by my audio dealer to not add a pre-amp unless needed for more sources. They tell me the Wadia has a fine output section. I am using Magnepan 3.6Rs, which are 4 ohm. Please evaluate this situation so I can sleep at night......
