Yeah that why i suggested -10dB . It buys you some protection if dont listen at ear splitting levels . It would work fine without it to , but ipk3 based squeezeboxes (sb3 transporter etc ) has a very rare bug when they sometimes emit noise at full volume , you get it every 5 years or soo :) , fix is a xilink reset . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
