What do you mean by "low gain setting".
The ANS2 has 2 IMPEDANCE settings - L and H.
L is for ultra low internal impedance cartridges and has HIGHER gain.
H is for higher impedance cartridges and has LOWER gain.
According to audio note the H setting is for cartridges with an internal impedance between 4 & 20ohms, L setting is for cartridges 3-12ohms.
If you are using the L setting, try the H setting, it will have less gain and less likely overload the phono stage ( you should be using MM ).
Your cartridge has an output of .48mv and internal impedance of 8 ohms.
