Phono gain alone is never the whole story. You need to add linestage gain. You need to consider amplifier input sensitivity (how many signal volts are required for full amplifier output) and speakers sensitivity . Also room size and reflectivity of furniture. Thus no on line calculator of phono gain can be fully relied upon. But your direct experience counts of course.
