Tad 1000's quiet?

Have a TAD 150 sig along side my 1000's and some Mirage speakers (not sure of the model). I can literally turn the pre all the way up running my Basis turntable or iPhone. Am I missing something?

Its a pretty basic setup and it has been like this since I purchased both the TAD pre and amp. Was pretty exited to get the equipment hooked up and quickly bummed at the output. I think something has got to be off.....

I would try running a source straight to the amps since the have a gain control to see if its the amp. Also what tubes are you using in the preamp?

I have used my TT, iPhone, laptop. Fresh out of sources. All tubes illuminate but I do not have a tube tester.
