RE: Phono Preamp - Why Does it Sound So Low?

The only thing that matters is that you can get the volume high/loud enough for yourself, not what the number says when doing so or where the knob is turned to when doing so. We don't know a lot of data that might be helpful. Another poster speculated it was a MM preamp w/35db gain which is on the lower side. We also don't know what cartridge you have which also makes a big difference.

Again the only thing that matters is that it can play loud enough with the volume set somewhere. Another poster said vinyl setups often require a higher volume level than other components which is also most often true.
