I just hooked up my RPA-1 to my Denon receiver. The volume dial levels on my receiver is way different prior to hooking the amp up. Example-before I had the amp hooked up, the maximum volume level I would go to on my Denon receiver was -10. Now with the amplifier hooked up, I can easily surpass that without approaching high levels like I did at -10. Is this a normal occurrence when you add in amplifier?
Thanks

Yes. Your Denon isn't doing all the work now. The amplifier carries the majority of the load.

Thanks Mojo. I got off the phone not too long ago with Emotiva and they said everything is working fine. There is some tweaking I can do with my Denon(I believe they said increasing the trim). Could be wrong though.
Have a good one

Wheelz, if I followed what you described, you use a higher setting on the master volume control on your Denon to get a similarly high sound level with the RPA-1 than with the Denon alone. If so, this isn't especially unusual and means only that the RPA-1 amplifier has lower gain than the internal Denon amplifier and therefore needs higher voltage output from the Denon pre-amplifier, which you get with a higher volume control setting. This isn't a problem as long as you can set the Denon volume control high enough to get the sound level you require, so relax and enjoy.
