I'm not familiar with the Linn Klimax but it may generate a lower output signal or have a higher output impedance and thus need the extra amplification of the higher output setting on the Pre. Perhaps this is what Bill meant by "based on the entire system". As they say... whatever works.

Enjoy... and you are.
