Hi everybody,At present, really need 20dB. I have XLR attenuators, and I can attenuate the speakers slightly, but the attenuators I feel are slightly degrading the sound, and the speaker attenuation isn't quite enough... incidentally, I don't use the XLR attenuators at the same time as the speaker attenuation - it's just that these are the two choices I have...
This is my first post to this forum. Coming from a Musical Fidelity M1-DAC, i have recently changed this DAC to the audiolab M-DAC.
I m really satisfied with this device. The sound is great for me. i am waiting eagerly for the new M-PAX estension to improve SQ one step beyond. I use it with an classic QUAD 909 power amp.
Nevertherless, i meet the same situation as JTC (and probably Arthur) : the gain of the M-DAC is to high for the QUAD, since i listen to music with a level of -50 dB the most of the time.
I think that some good attenuators could help me to improve the SQ. That's why i've ordered two pairs of Harrison Labs attenuators (-6dB and -12dB). I will try the both and keep the one which best fit with my system.
Do you think my approach is a good approach ? What attenuator do you recommend for this situation ?
Thanks folks for your answers.
