Ditch the pot on your preamp and replace it with a dale vishay stepped attenuator. These cost 55 dollars plus a little shipping on ebay. You specify the resistance of the ladder.

This will give you a clarity in the midrange that you will not hear from a pot. Literally the signal is hitting just two resistors. I cannot imagine a less expensive way to set volume without distroying the integrity of the audio signal.

I would send you mp purely passive preamp, but it is with another inmate at this time.

As for padding down the signal, Al has covered that very nicely.

Let me know how the Cornet sounds to you. If you want I will skip over the hill and bring my Audio Research PH-3 for a direct comparison. This got a Stereophile Class B recommendation. I would love to hear it side to side with a Cornet.
