What is the purpose of adjusting the gain stage on a Preamp? Does a Solid State amp vs a Tube amp dictate up or down on the gain stage? What are the Pros and Cons of turning it up or down? Thanks Pete
05-19-15: Bombaywalla good answers by Newbee & Viridian. I'll add my 2 cents: the gain control on a preamp is really an attenuator as already indicated.
I like using dual volume. In my analogue setup I use Nakamichi RX202 tape deck to provide extra boost to phonostage. That extra boost I can vary from record to record and achieve an ideal volume settings per listening I desire.
