that requires system matching.Historically, a full function preamp had 40 db for phono and 20 db for line sources. The latter is typically too much for modern digital sources having enough gain (if not proper impedance ) to drive a power amp directly. Mine works great with 58 db to drive my medium output MC cartridge with only 14 db for line. Obviate need for SUT while not overdriven by DAC.
