... " What's more, there are two jumpers for you to bypass the volume control and turn the integrated amp into a power amp".
From the 6 Moons Best Of 2006 report.
Where do these jumpers go and what do they do then?
Do you know?
I'm not saying you're wrong, but i think I just confused myself...
Follow Ups:
The jumpers allow you to bypass the volume control, such that the amp functions as a stereo power amplifier. So, yes you can bypass the volume control.I use my TA-10.1 with the volume control and a tube preamp. Most of the time I don't use the volume control on the TA-10. Occasionally, I use the TA-10 control to reduce the volume. Otherwise, I use the unit as a power amp.
I hope this answers your questions. BTW my TA-10 is stock.

... hoping you have time...
How is the volume control set?
And...how does it sound?
I set the volume to full on (high volume) to use the amp as a power amplifier. In this setup I use my preamp to adjust the volume.I will use the volume control on the TA-10.1 to lower the volume often times based on the recording of the source.
I really don't notice in degradation of the sound due to the volume control. All I hear is the clarity and musicality associated with the Tripath amplifier technology.
