Why is this a problem?

Seems to me it was designed to be 2-volts out to match all the other line level sources. 0.5 volts would seem to necessitate a reduction in output voltage as most transistor circuits require a minimum voltage of around 0.7 volts to operate the transistor junctions.

Therefore, phono stages should have enough flexibility to also attain the nominal output level, even though that voltage is mostly attenuated in the line-level stage.
