The volume pot is actually a good thing. The 88PB has a lot of gain, more than the specs suggest. With the volume pot at 2:00, the EAR has as much gain as my CJ Premier 15-2 with Jensen step-up - 75 dB! The volume pot lets you match the phono to other sources. See my review.You could easily jumper it out of the circuit, but I doubt it would be sonically significant to do so, especially because EAR recommends NOT using the volume control wide open.
Mine is currently with Mitch Sugarman getting his mod. Can't wait!
Happy listening.
