Does amp output V decrease by adding gain stage?


My tube amplifier is low sensitivity, has high output voltage at 4V. I plan to add one or two gain stages to improve the amp sensitivity. The question is by adding gain stages will that results in lowering output voltage?

Increasing gain in the input voltage amplifier stages will increase input sensitivity but should have no effect on the capabilities of the output stage.

But a 4V output for an amplifier is very, very low. Perhaps you are talking about a preamp?
