Too effing bad that you tell it like it is. Get the overall gain structure correct!

Hang on folks. I don't know what monsters y'all are using for amps, but my 26/26/45 and my 26/845/845 (low voltage) can use all the help they can get in the gain department. Ain't no padding down involved here. The active pre (a single 26 per channel) lets me get up to a good level and gives me the leveling ability I spoke of.
Isn't your active pre essentially another gain stage on your amp?
I have made these same design choices because I like these same triodes. Unfortunately they don't have the mu to drive full power without these extra stages.
I guess you could look at any preamp that way, but I like it better than another stage on the amp it self because it can be used for several amps.
Vinnie, it seems you are getting overall gain structure right. ;> )
As for "monsters", I have (among other things) a H/K Cit. 2 and a 250 WPC AVA FET-Valve hybrid. My tiny ProAc Tablette speakers need that kind of "grunt". I am and will remain space constrained. "There's more than 1 way to skin a cat."
