Amps with low gain

Which amps have low gain? Also I feel an amp has too much gain/sensitivity,
would solution be to attach passive preamp?

Gamut amps can be adjusted by the dealer. The Promethius TVC's (am I spelling that correctly?) are a bargain but don't have features of the Bent Audio TAP or Placette. You also should have sources over 1K output impedance to match well with these. I also suggest using XLR IC's with passives but not mandatory. What voltage does your CDP put out? The "standard" is 2V but some can go as high as 6.

Samuell, what are you trying to accomplish? What equipment do you have?
