Abe is correct. I looked at the schematic, and as you would expect the output stage is a cathode follower.
Cathode followers (a.k.a. "buffers") have a voltage gain of less than 1. In other words - no gain, in fact they attenuate the signal slightly. But they do have a much lower output impedance which is useful for a preamp.
So listen to what Abe is saying - he's got it right.
