I had a chance to demo Susvara at home today with my Topping A30Pro. I heard lots of stories of how Susvara loves power and only plays nice with overkill speaker amps, which I took with a pinch of salt.
What still surprised me is that I was able to use it at low gain and volume pot at 2-3 o’clock, and the listening volume was adequate for me. I generally listen at low volume but if I turn the pot further it does get uncomfortably loud for me. As far as I know I don’t have an issue with overly sensitive ears. I did not perceive any distortion at low gain.
Do I have any misconception in the above and should I stay at low gain or switch to med/high gain and dial the volume pot back to match the listening level? Is there any difference in terms of sound quality if the overall volume is matched?
Generally, should I try to stay at the lowest gain if I can use the pot to get to a good listening level?
