Hi Ralph,
I'm hoping to get your technical opinion. I had to resort to plugging shorting pins (the real deal, not the cheesy "caps") into the RCA inputs of my MA-1 monoblocks to quiet system background noise.
The background is now utterly silent, but at a cost - "gain", for lack of a better term, has dropped about 15dB judging from linestage stepped attenuator clicks. At my preferred listening volume range, I perceive no degradation of sound quality.
Can you explain what'd going on? Hopefully, I'm not damaging the amps long term by this maneuver.
