Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2?

Wow, I'm glad I asked. I am using a Monolithic passive/active linestage driving my Audio Research D250mkII into Proac 3.8's.
The ARC is input sens. of .8v and is increadibly easy to drive. I cannot put my phono direct into ARC without it being too loud. There are two variable resistors on the back of the amp which allow me to "turn up or down" the input signal. With these wide open I currently have more than enough gain. A loss of 3db however could be substantial.
Just curious, Creativepart, did you listen to the new Monolithic phono before going to the Acoustech?

Thanks for chimming in with your responses. I completely forgot about tube rush however I think it's really quiet now.
I mentioned in another post that I am also looking into the Sumiko Celebration as an alternative althought it has more compliance than the Dyna, for my ET tonearm. The Sumiko sounds user friendly and preamp friendly as well, however I'm not sure how the two would compare.
I am very partial to one dealer here in town and my options are:
Benz
Sumiko
Dynavector
The Dyna, caused me to think twice as some of the reviews suggest that it is extremely quiet and tracks well, hopefully relieving the "end of record distortion" that occasionaly nips me in the butt with my current Benz Gold.
If anyone can offer a comparison of the two cartridges please jump in.
Many thanks

Thanks Raul, thats a very positive note from "The Cartridge Man" great system by the way.

I like the looks of this cartridge but am concerned about detial retrieval as it doesn't use the popular Line Contact stylus. Also it isn't as low a compliance as the Dynavector, but it may not be that critical between 10 and 12 dyne.

I listened to the Benz LP Ebony for a bit and although it was really smooth I didn't find it tracked all that well. I think it still needed some tlc in setup. My Benz gold on ET tonearm tracked better but was a bit more aggressive sounding. BIG difference in dollar.

Thanks

Great question bobby23, I don't think that too little would damage anything it just wouldn't have enough signal to play loud enough to enjoy, I could be wrong here.

I just found out the XX-2 is available in a .5 output from VPI. So now I need to find some comparison of the XX-2 and Celebration.
