As test reports in the various audio rags clearly show a manufacturers published figure for gain is not always the actual gain of the amp. The situation in the real world often is quite different than on paper yeilding a significantly greater imbalance than you think. If you have an imbalance, you might try putting a Radio Shack potentiometer in a box and using it at the inputs of the more sensitive amp. Creek makes a product functionally similar to this but it is more spendy.
Voltage Gain
I'm considering using two different amps in my system. One concern pointed out in the Linn website is the difference in voltage gain between amps. How much of a difference is too much difference? I'm considering using a Linn amp with a gain of 28.6 dB with an amp with a gain of 29dB. Is this material?
Thanks.
