EAR 834P and gain
YOU can try a At7,that will reduce the gain to what you need.I have a brand new JJ tesla you can have,I had the same problem with my Quicksilver phono and replaced with 12au7 which might be too much reduction for you,but I think a 12at7 will be ri... 
Quicksilver preamps
I owned both,I never used the remote,it was only volume up down no mute.I like the non remote better,it has a mono feature and reverse,it sounds better.It also seems to have more gain,I guess because of the different type tubes.

HI,I FOUND THAT THE STOCK PUSHBUTTON WAS VERY NOISY.WHEN I REPLACED WITH A NICE TOGGLE IT MADE A BIG CHANGE.IT EVEN LOOKS NICE IN CHROME.REMEMBER TO GET ONE WITH A LONG STEM SO IT FITS THROUGH THE BASE.GOOD LUCKYOGIBOY

I REPLACED PUSH BUTTON WITH TOGGLE ,YOU CAN GET ONE AT ANY HARDWARE STORE OR HOME DEPOT,MAKE SURE THE STEM IS LONG ENOUGH TO FIT IN EXISTING HOLE.YOU MIGHT HAVE TO REDRILL FOR NICE FIT,OR ELSE YOU CAN MOUNT IT OUSIDE OF BASE.
