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?

TIA.


I used a Marantz CD-63 mkII for years with a Quad 34/306/FM4 and had no
problems.

The output of the CDP is 2V RMS (200 Ohms impedance) according to the
book of words and I was using the standard 300mV CD input.

What is the output of your CDP?
