I have an Audio Research LS 25. It has gain adjustable in 3 increments - 6dB, 12 dB, and 18dB. This works great for me because the 12 dB setting is perfect for cd, while the 18 dB setting is great with phono.
Preamps with variable gain... pros and cons?
I am considering a preamp upgrage and have noticed many high end units have adjustable gain (in addition of course to the volume control). What are the benifits of this feature? What units have you auditioned or owned? What models would you recommend? Is this soley a solid state feature or do any tube preamps have it?
Many thanks.
