Amps with low gain

Which amps have low gain? Also I feel an amp has too much gain/sensitivity,
would solution be to attach passive preamp?

Gamut amps can be adjusted by the dealer. The Promethius TVC's (am I spelling that correctly?) are a bargain but don't have features of the Bent Audio TAP or Placette. You also should have sources over 1K output impedance to match well with these. I also suggest using XLR IC's with passives but not mandatory. What voltage does your CDP put out? The "standard" is 2V but some can go as high as 6.

I gotta cut back on the nog. Samuel - Remote control is one feature many seem to like. The only source I would really worry about is the phono, if you have it.
