I am using Quad 34 & 606 II amplification with a Marantz CD40, Denon

TU260L,
and Epos ES11 speakers. While I am happy with the performance of the
amplification, I am having problems with the volume settings. Most of my
listening is done with the volume control set at 1 or 2, and with some

newer
recordings, which seem to be recorded at ever higher levels, 1 is too

loud.

The CD input is the standard 300mV version - Assuming I could find one,
would it be worth getting the 500mV option? Or should I use in-line
attenuators or attenuated interconnects between CD player and pre-amp,

and
if so, where can I get such items? Is it preferable to use attenuation
between source and pre rather then pre and power?

Any other suggestions?



Buy 4 resistors and a soldering iron.
Tell us the output voltage and minimum recommended load
for the CD player and we can tell you what value resistors.

Attenuation goes between source and preamp.

You could modify the Quad input card to give the required
sensitivity.
