Are you saying the amplifier won't play loud enough? It looks like what you're using should drive the amp to full output.
McIntosh Preamp for McIntosh MC7270
I have a McIntosh MC7270 driving a set of Snell Type A speakers. I am spinning a VPI Nomad table with a Grado Gold Cartridge. PBJ Kimber speaker wires and monster interconnects to the turntable. I have not been running a preamp (becuase VPI says not to) and am 100% I am not getting the input gain that I need out of the VPI Nomad turn table. What McIntosh preamp would be best matched to my MC7270? For me the sonic quality is absolutely needed but I like a matched system for ages/looks. Thoughts
