Amp/Preamp Relative volumes

Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Hi all,

I had the volumes on my amp set relatively high, and the pre-amp has been at around -20 for comfortable listening. I never really thought about it much before, but recently I realized that I was attenuating the signal with the preamp and then amplifying it with the amp... well that seems like a silly thing to do!

Do you guys think having the amp turned down, and the preamp around 0, would be better?

Thanks :)
