I am using a CDP with volume control directly into a 2WPC SET amplifier. If I add a line stage preamplifier, will the loudness increase? From the pre-amp specifications, is there any way to predict by how much the loudness will (or will not) increase? Thanks.
If the preamp's gain is >1, the volume will be greater. However, the limit is already set(!) by your 2wpc amp. It can output only so much no matter how hard you drive it.
