I don't have your problem (blowing a ribbon when comparing an LP to its CD counterpart, before having adjusted their levels). I say 'ribbon' because I don't use fuses! :-))
Now, I'm 'only' 65 and I run 3-way active Maggies ... so why don't I have this problem?
Simple - the output from my phono stage is comparable to the output from my CDP. Not exactly the same ... but all it needs is, maybe, a 10 deg turn of the volume knob to get the same volume when switching from one to the other.
So I suggest you need to get a new phono stage with less gain - because I think you are implying your LPs are louder than your CDs? (If not, get a phono stage with more gain!) Then you can do away with fuses and get a significant increase in SQ. :-))

Andy
