Thanks a whole lot for that deeply insightful post! [8D] [xx(] I'd hate to break it to you but the MRC sound decoders are very very basic. I do not even know if they have the ability for controling volume.

QUOTE: Originally posted by knewsom If you are talking about the 1627 Steam decoder that MRC has, then you need to change CV 52 to 0. The Steam decoders only have two volume levels high and low. The factory default is high, which is a value of 31 in CV 52. I have two of these decoders and have been very pleased with them, so please don't be discouraged by other users. I also have a Broadway Limited Class A with QSI sound. Both of MRC decoders have comparable sound as far as my untrained ear is concerned. Hope this helps.

Their own or others? Thanks, JaRRell
