My goal is to add enough gain at the phono stage to match the input sensitivity of my amplifiers preamp stage. My Parasound HINT preamp input sensitivity is 300mV, so setting my Nova II gain at 56dB gets me about 320mV, close enough.
This gets me very high resolution and extended dynamics from the Lyra Delos.
I think this is something that many MC users neglect to think of, so they add as much gain as possibly just so they don't have to turn the volume dial up past their "normal".
