What gain should I have?


What gain should I have?
Have an Audio Technica AT150, the Riaa step is a Primare R32 and the amplifier is Audio Research Vsi60. If you lift the cover to the Riaa amplifier you can change the gain either 41.5 db or 46.5 db. How to think about this?
What are the pros and cons of respective gain?

The 41.5db setting should be fine.  The AT150 has a pretty decent output.

If you have too much gain, you increase noise and the chance of overloading.
