Hi,
in these days I'm enjoying my 8 Power Cyrus. Great sound, I love this amp so much
Nevertheless, a small problem. I drive it using one of my vintage preamps: a Meridian 101, a Hafler DH-101 and a Quad 33. With any of those sources, the Cyrus' input sensitivity is quite high, so I'm forced to use only a small portion of the volume potentiometer. Nothing serious, but annoying a bit
I've opened the Cyrus cover, and I've seen several links on the board, some with a jumper installed. I am wondering if any of those is intended to set the input sensitivity
Anyone knows something more?
Thanks a lot for the attention, Paolo

Cyrus mention "fixed gain " at a line input of 200mv designed to be used with their own preamp .
The Quad 33 =pre out is 500mv for example otherwise line output is 100mv.
Meridian output is=775mv.

Hello Duncan,
thx for your prompt reply.
So, three solutions it seems:
. buy a Cyrus preamp (expensive)
. add a simple attenuator inside the amp, immediately after the input sockets (complex)
. enjoy the amp as it is (philosophical)
I think I'll choose the most relaxing one...
Thank you very much again for your kind support
