When you say 50% or 80% volume, is the same as the number displayed on the screen of the pre amp? Thanks for your help. You have been most informative!

Yes, the percentage number desplayed on the screen. If you have 0dB on the meters scale(80%). If you have 100% this will go beyond 0dB.
When I am doing Gainstructure and run a pinknoice from a CD that I have, I always stay at 80%. This is around +20dBu(on a dBu scale), so if you are at around 50-60% this is around 0dBu, your listening level.
Hope you understand
