What gain should I have?


What gain should I have?
Have an Audio Technica AT150, the Riaa step is a Primare R32 and the amplifier is Audio Research Vsi60. If you lift the cover to the Riaa amplifier you can change the gain either 41.5 db or 46.5 db. How to think about this?
What are the pros and cons of respective gain?

Many thanks for your opinions and knowledge.
Have samples listened to both gain options today and your suggestions on 41.5 match the impressions of my listening
Dear @titus1: As you said under tests conditions you can evaluate.

Now, for you the critical subject is the overload spec in the Primare that can be overloaded ( generating distortions. ) or not by the output level of the cartridge. Differences in those Primare gain settings can be generated by how good the AR V60 handle each gain.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
