Is this preamp mod to reduce gain advisable?

I have an expensive preamp and have this option from the (small) manufacturer to do this to reduce the gain:

" re-wire the input transformer, which would give a 6dB drop in gain. It is fairly major surgery (requires some cuts and re-wiring on the PCB) but it can be done."

Would you do this, or is it too much risk?

Thanks.

too little info

Are you talking about a transformer on the phono input or the power transformer but the latter doesn't make much sense?

Which preamp?

Why do you want to reduce the gain? I agree that the closer you operate any volume control to wide open the better but what is your goal?
