Yeah this is true! Even with my integrated Apetite I run my source -9dB and have the volume control only at about 8 o' clock. Part of that is the 97-103 dB Altecs and the living space of course, but yes lots of gain.

The only problem is the gain. Really high. Much more than my Giscours. I did not expect that. Although I set the MSA at the 2V sensitivity, I really do not have a wide run of the Monbrison volume control. I could live with that anyway.
A power amp with a real adjustable gain is way better for some Shindo preamps.
