I listen at low to moderate spl and want a gentle gain taper to help fine tune the volume control.

Hi
Yes the volume control on the BP-17 Cubed is a Balanced control with extremely accurate left/right accuracy and most of the gain is between 10 and 1 o'clock.
So people are use to volume controls having most of the gain at 8 to 11 o'clock and with our volume control some think that the preamp is not as powerful.
On a preamp the output is always at full gain and the volume control turns the gain down (opposite from a power amp). So it could be argued that the volume control on a preamp full up is the best performance.
