When I switched preamps to the Conrad Johnson Act 2 the Sophia 1's ability to stay "full and balanced" at low levels became apparent. With my old preamp I had to play at a higher volume for the music to have any life, the CDP, amps and cables remained the same.
Late at nite I play at very low levels and I'm still surprised when the level meters read 8-12!!!
I would say from my experience the Sophia 1 is very good at low levels. (with the right gear ?)
