Oh yes.. there is lots of volume range with this amp. Infact, my current prototype has no volume control and is connected directly to my PC soundcard (Creative Live). There is a comfotable range to adjust the volume. I am also finiky about propper volume control and this unit gets my approval...

REGA P3 or a few bucks more and get the P5... best value for money and really great performers! GD

I dont think optical storage media will last another 25 years. Solid-state is getting more affordable and is way smaller - look at a 2Gb SD card... and it is growing. However - I see a bright future for vinyl. Will never go mass-market again but it sure is growing...! GD
