Sherwood S-5000 Volume Control

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I have a Sherwood S-5000 integrated drivng a pair of Rectilinear IIIs in a small room and I think it sounds terrific. I know that everyone talks about big power with RIIIs, and I've tried many amps, but I've had god results with tubed Anthem, Fisher and now Sherwood units. The volume control has the 0 db marked at about 2:00. Does this mean full power at this setting? I do find that I listen to vinyl (HO MC cart @ 1.6 mV) with the volume between 1:00 and 2:00. Do you think I'm pushing this amp too hard? It has a magical midrange and surprisingly controlled bass; great amp.
