Turn it up or not?

[midlife]

I phrased the question wrong, the new thread asks; turn it down or not? Looking forward to any comments.

I have a Crown DC300 for my main power amp. It has L&R gain controls on the front of the amp. I have been told by some in order to get the maximum head room those gain knobs should be run full up regardless of my volume needs (listening levels should be controlled by the preamp gain). What would you do to have it "right"?...........

Trade it in on an amp without gain knobs and your days of fretting about it are over.

See how easy it can be?

Now where's the fun in that??
