Actually the input sensitivity on my amp, CA 306, is .33v for full output and 100,000 Ohms input impedance. The gain on my pre is indeed 9dB with an output impedance 1'600 Ohms.I am going to check with Canary and see if there is anything I can do to drop the gain. I don't know anyone around here that I would be able to listen to there setup, I live way out in the sticks outside Chicago.
