Whoa, thanks for all the responses in such short time! You guys are awesome...
Skunk, that's exactly my problem, before reaching 1/4 on the 33 volume control the level isnt even on balance between the two speakers. It seems to click in at about that level. How could I check to see how much attenuation is needed? (i'm pretty new to the technical side of all this stuff). I know the specs of the 303 are listed here, but I'm not quite sure which figure to use: http://www.retrohifi.co.uk/quad_303.html . The speakers recommend upwards of 25w for a small sized room, which is what I'm rolling with for the moment. Phil and Adam, your advice seems sound and it looks to me like that's the direction I should be heading. I realize that the 33 isn't a great piece of equipment, and it certainly is getting long in the tooth. I'm fairly certain it has not been rebuilt ever, and I certainly am having a few problems with the volume control, and the balance. The rothwells seem like a solid solution. I was reading up a bit on them, and people suggest that you plug them in directly to the power amp. Considering I've got 4 pin din and not RCA, would it be a disadvantage to plug them into the squeezebox directly and then run a custom rca - 4 pin from the SB to the 303? Attenuators definately seem like something promising, and would certainly save me the effort of getting up to change the volume all the time. I'm also going to look further into an Elpac power supply, and perhaps a Bolder mod also. -- LikeButtah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LikeButtah's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7258 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29722 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
