I have strangely come to view the low gain as a feature rather than an issue. You can tell the difference when the volume pot is completely out of the circuit (as it is on the 24th step), and when I back down a few clicks it is ever so slightly but perceptibly less transparent. With the 6BX7 and the low sensitivity of the LCD-2 there is never any reason to move the knob from the max position either. With 6SN7s the nominal volume is usually a couple clicks down, and I inevitably go up to max for a little while anyway depending on what I'm listening to.
