Your best bet is to deal with your gain issue at the amp. Choose one with higher input sensitivity and a passive line stage will match just fine, no extra gain needed.

LDR Active Preamp - does it exist?
I am using passive LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) volume control LightSpeed Attenuator. As much as clarity and all the good stuff about this little preamp, I wish I can have some gain for my low sensitivity amplifiers. Is there any existing active preamp using LDR volume control?
