Ok that match the m-180 perfectly for once a very rare coincidence that gain scaling is ok rigth out the box :) and you are rigth about input impedance variation a tube input passive attenuation/cable can do stuff . -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
