Interesting. I sit at 9 to11 depending on how quiet the recording is. It may be the gain of the tubes you are using or the output of your source is too high.
I used it with stock tubes first, and I had the same, and I used it with other tubes (I forgot which ones). I was using a GO450 as the source, but I also tried modi multibit, seemed about the same. Maybe I turned it up a little more with modi, but IDK. Ill try it with my SPS DAC3 whenever I get my Valhalla back from zeos...
Sounds like your music is the issue. If you listen to a lot of stuff that is amplified and dynamically compressed, you'll be in the 7-9 range on high gain all the time.
When you're down to your last bud then you should consider resupplying imo. Unless you're in a legal state, cuz being too low on pot isn't much of an issue there
@SSL i don't think my music is the issue. All my music seems to be at about the same volume, other than classical. And it's mostly classic rock and prog rock, not known for bad mastering. I'll have to test more when Valhalla comes back
