I'm with Lummy on this one. Of the 3 earlier CJ pre-amps I've owned, (PV5, PV8 and Premiere 3) 9 o'clock was about as far as one could advance the volume pot setting. That said, the combination of either the PV5 or Premiere 3 with the MV50 was somewhat magical.....at least here . Both the PV8 and MV75A1 were non starters IMHO. My apologies as this has nothing to do with CJ solid state amps, but I had to chime in on the excessive gain issue. Also plagued my Audible Illusions 2B as well.
