Cary 303/300 Analog Volume Control...

So, when connecting to a linestage/amp commbo, do I keep the volume on "10?" Or, do I leave it in the middle and crank up the linestage volume??? Does it matter?

thanx

I have rolled back the Cary volume about 1/2 way, then get the Krell up to Reference (if I need it that loud) and it sounds great.
