Superphon Revelation II Preamp with Phono Stage

Ok, so the Superphon  has high gain. In that case, if you want to use it with the Counterpoint, don't turn up the gain control on the amp. All of the power will still be available if needed.

The Counterpoint has no volume control, but has a gain of 30db which is about 4 db higher than average. The Superphon line stage gain is 20db which is also higher than average. You are pairing a high gain amp with a high gain pre and the result is you have very little flexibility with the volume control.

Can anyone make a suggestion as to finding a perfect mate for the Superphon Revelation II Preamp with Phono Stage?

I am speaking of a power amp that would go well with this pre amp.

Rsfphil , you have answered my question as far as why this is not a good pairing. 

Can you make a suggestion for a power amp that would work well. 

The combination of the Lazarus Cascade Basic pre amp, ( which I had upgraded by none other than George Romero, himself, to a premium quality ) paired with the Counterpoint SA 100 is a match made in heaven as far as HiFi reproduction is concerned. I use the volume control as gain and the R and L attenuators act as separate volume controls for each speaker; plus right and minus left.

I have an Ella Fitzgerald album with Stan Getz and a small ensemble of jazz musicians which was recorded in HiFi and it just sounds great when I switch over to  plus right and minus left on The Lazarus pre amp. 

The album is titled Like Someone in Love.
