To/from those that upgraded from 975 to a 976: what about volume or “Drive” as I prefer to call it. Do you get the same or higher perceived “Drive” @ say -30? Anyone using those balanced outputs? My one major complaint when I “entered the Outlaw saloon” from the “Rotel parlor,” reduced max Drive.

Rotel 1068 display shows volume from 0 to 100. I could set a default turn on level at, say, 50, and chose to limit max at 90 to keep busy hands out of trouble. When I upgraded, “0” Outlaw Drive was about the same as “80” Rotel Drive, my system’s “alive” or “wake up” point.

(Can’t recall who at ) Outlaw CS said “different type V control.” Didn’t get it then. Don’t get it now. I’ve since gotten around that w/EXOs that have nifty feature - a “-10/+4” button. Set correctly, makes up the difference in spades!
