The gain of my phonostage is around 55dB. My headphone amp has trouble regulating the volume to a comfortable listening level on my loudest records when using my 2.7mV cartridge.
I have decided to use 2 high quality mono pots at the output of the phonostage.

does your headphone amp have a volume control?

    I forgot to mention that my headphones have a sensitivity of 106 dB @ 1mW!
