Regardless of fusing, you could easily attenuate the output of your phono amp to equalize the nominal volume difference. Just a few dollars worth of resistors.

Also including the use of a little soldering iron, (which when in my hands would most likely destroy the whole works)? Easy for you, deefeecult for me.
Absolutely not. There are some easy commercial products built precisely for this purpose. Here's an example of a simple 6db attenuator.

Folks in the Pro-audio world use these kind of things all the time.

Thanks Davey, attenuators (gold colored) in use and have brought everything within good control:
Good deal. I think I can read 6db on the side of those. FYI, they also have 3db and 12db versions of those. They're kind of handy to have sometimes. :)
Cheers,
Dave.
Correct all around Davey, they are 6db and it would be useful to have some of different values, only downside being they 'ain't' exactly inexpensive. (However, quality never comes cheap, and at least they appear to be very well done.)
Thank you very much Davey, I'll be buying them. (You are however aware that you suggested that I could install resistors, I think that implies an entirely different game. Just as importantly, I could easily remove those attenuators, if and when I so desired.)
