Hi Jeff,

Yes, I've read through that site before. Do you know is the gain input-output of that amplifier? I estimate around 22dB. In my experience using passive preamps and true 95dB efficient speakers, 22dB is not enough. I've found 30dB or slightly higher provides the best micro dynamics and life to the musical presentation and listening experience. I like to use transformer volume controls like the Silver Rock. From my measurements, they're best performing at their lower settings (-40 to - 60dB), requiring 30dB+ gain amplifiers.
