McIntosh knew what they were doing all those years ago with there SS amps. I am currently restoring am MX 110 to the "9's" ... mostly polystyrene and polycarbonate caps as there is NO ROOM to add any exotics, although I have replaced 4 electrolytics with film. I digress... I currently use an ARC Reference I {better than the 2/3/5 to me} and it has 6 db IC gain ... 12 db XLR and is adequate. IN my opinion, all CD players and streamers should come with a gain control {a good auto-former is not cheap and I don't expect mainstream audio to man up} to even out all the crap that these guys design. Your suggestion has merit and I will need to ponder a design... I have only built a multitude of amplifiers and never built what you have stated. I have pondered an 8608 direct coupled to a TVC however.
