It sounds like an L-pad is what you need, although you'll be dissipating a lot of excess power and driving the amplifier harder than necessary - possibly into distortion. An ideal solution would be to figure out which resistors you could replace _inside_ the receiver, or perhaps the volume pot itself, to attenuate the outbound signal _before_ the amplifier stage. In an older device you might even find a couple separate little pots you can turn, who knows...
Or you could install fixed RCA attenuators on every input to the receiver. It might not work well for phono but it would be fine for everything else. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62792 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
