What is the best way to lower the gain in a Dynahi? I am using it with Grados and a stepped attenuator, and I'm only using the first 4 steps before it gets too loud.
The first 4 steps on the SA give me:
-60.35
-52.11
-46.38
-42.52
of attenuation. I guess the steps are just too big... but I selected values that were finer closer to the middle of the attenuator!
Some solutions I am considering:
*My gain resistor in the amp (the 2000R location beside the 33pf cap) is 1.2K, what should I lower this to make the amp usable with both Grados and Senn's?
*I may put in a 75 ohm resistor at the RCA inputs to attenuate there
*I may put in a 10K input resistor together with the attenuator to change the log curve of it
What would be the best sounding solution??? Suggestions are appreciated...
