[QUOTE="DC, post: 626547, member: 675"] I'm not an expert in these issues, however, when I had a Quad 44 pre it had 3 choices of output for the power amp, i.e.: 0.5v or 1.6v or 5v. I used the 1.6v for the Quad valve monoblocks and the gain was just right. I must then assume that the Maverick is delivering a lot less gain than the 1.6v output on the Quad 44. If I bypass the Maverick preamp completely and go from the 2v CD RCA outputs directly to the Quad monoblocks there is PLENTY of volume. It seems to me that I need a preamp with more gain and Ampdogs suggestion is a good one - trial a few in order to get the right match. [/QUOTE]
