Gain versus volume


In a non technical format can one explain the difference between raising the volume up on your pre-amp versus raising the gain setting on your phono pre-amp.
For example: raising my volume control on my Aesthetix pre-amp to a higher level versus raising the gain on my Rhea for 62db to 68db???

Tks!

Agree with Onhwy1.

Your active linestage should operate centered at about 12-1:00 at moderate volume.
