It's not about the pot.There is just no purpose (and maybe some harm, depending on how the gain is generated in the phono preamp) to have more gain than you need. If you set the gain of the phono preamp so 12 O'clock on the volume control gives you your "normal" listening level then you have plenty of "room" to turn it up and down from there as needed, album to album or personal mood to mood.
Edit, I should add, a lot of volume pots don't "track" well as a low setting so in that respect it is about the pot.
