Hey, you don’t tell me what to do ok?
I just posted some facts, I don’t care about your speakers, but the nonsense I read on audiogon about GAIN is just a result of those inefficient speakers, let’s face it.
You can buy tremendous amount of power (huge amps, high gain preamps etc), but a good high efficient speakers can work perfectly without all that ... , just with 1.5 watt triode tubes and passive volume control (or passive preamp).
I’ve been using inefficient speakers before. If you bought your phono preamp by audiogon member recommendation then you could learn a bit about GAIN and why it’s not enough gain for you in your system.
99 dB’s and above = ultra efficiency
95 - 98 dB’s = very high efficiency
91 - 94 dB’s = high efficiency
88 - 91 dB’s = medium efficiency ( most common )
85 - 87 dB’s = low efficiency
85 dB’s and below = power suckers
