Post Subject: Placette; one thing I would have likedPosted by RonyWeissman on: 2/28/2007
Hi Romy,

I wish I had seen your post on Placette before buying mine.  I didn't realize that there is no balance control on the unit.  I know in theory this should not be a problem, but I miss this feature for several reasons.  Can't have everything when you buy on the used market though... 

My unit has what is referred to as Dual Volume Control, which allows it to play at very low levels. Though turning up the volume with Dual Volume Control engaged doesn't sound as good as turning down the volume without the DVC engaged. Maybe this is a question of break-in time on the resistors, who knows.

and yes I am excited about biamping now.  Here's a question: with the placette unit, am I better off with longer interconnect between preamp/amp and shorter speaker cables, or inverse? I need about 3M run to get to speakers. 

thanks,  Rony
