I've got some preamp assemblies here rated near
40dB gain, which they do quite nicely. (made by
Angle Linear)
Much is possible...

Depends on the receiver...

Unless you're using bipolar preamps on VHF, the
12dB gain figure you post is kind of low for
a GasFet or Phempt device. As previously stated
on the group (by me) Chip doesn't offer a VHF
GasFet device so I use another brand. Low noise
is low noise and the phempt and GasFet devices
offer the lowest noise figures.
Chip makes great stuff, so does ARR and as did
Janel and a few others. I've got some Telewave
preamps here that look like an Angle Linear box
but Telewave said the preamps weren't made by AL.
Cellwave (now RFS) made a nice preamp as does
Sinclair.
