I would not be worried by that most thing are to loud anyway (to much gain). Amps sound better when you use the volume control not only the first 25% of it for normal listening.
Touch outputs ~2v rms wich is quite normal ? what CDP do you use. Compare them at the same input . You are not using the phono input I hope. However there is a couple of things that can make things sound at lover volume. Replay Gain Tags and if you have "volume adjustment" on in the player settings. Then things get -10dB quieter approximately, that's a lot. Also what kind of files are you listening to , you can only do a fair comparison with a rip of the same CD , web radio channels can have any kind of level usually louder but sometimes quieter. And rip to a lossles format I suggest flac. Btw some mp3 encoders and cd rip application have options to "normalize" the sound never do that, they you would end up with a compromised rip and it will also sound lover in most cases. If you want to use gain adjustment use RG tags do not fiddle with the audio to achieve that. Replay gain is just tags with info, the associated function can be turned on and off as needed the itself audio unmolested. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
