resulting to significantly lowering the output
That's probably due to lower gain of that particular source.

0 gain actually. Just an active volume controller

Interesting pre.
Have you performed the calibration for gain?
What do you mean? I ve got issues anyway because the SPL has XLR in/outs while my Rotel RCAs - not really a proper match even with the right adapters.Besides, this damned thing was lowering the output by -6db.
So all in all although it was really slim and fit and been conceived for one purpose only, to control the volume, it didn't quite work out in my case.

The owner's manual had a "calibration" section.
Consider doing some mods to the volume pot.
....Series and or shunting them.
That will kill a lot of the gain and provide sonic improvement.
Are you talking Wheezer about the SPL or what?
xtsili
If the SPL is in that section, I didn't read it.
I just saw a section on "calibration".
...If you're happy with the system, look into the volume pot mods.
Oops - me bad
Wheezer Hi.
I managed to find the schematics of Rotel Rb-1092

Could you tell if there is a coupling cap at the input?
Many thanks!!
xtsili
I couldn't open or download the SM.
Can you download it? If so, PM and send it to me.
There absolutely is a input coupler in that amp.
Cheers,
W

I like Primare as well. In particular, I would like to hear the new CD player CD32.
I think the auditions were made with this new Primiare CD player. Very natural sound indeed. No digitalitis at all!
xtsili
I am actively seeking a dealer/retailer that has one for demo. The CD32 features the new Sanyo drive/transport- I am anxious to hear it!
Come over to Athens Greece then! :-)
xtsili
Primare doesn't show specs on their website.
Yes they do. All the way down to the bottom of the page, you'll see the specification button (barely seen to be honest :-))
