How many dbs i will gain with 0,6mv cart.vs 0,3mv?

Hello
I am loading my Shelter 501mkII (0,3 mv output) cartridge into 47K as reccomended by the manufacturer.When switching from my cd player to analog,i am always compensating volume by +10 (CJ Premier 18 LS)to match the same loudness as my cd source.
I was wondering how much i will gain if i switch to 0,6mv output cartridge (Koetsu Black)which has the same reccomended loading as my current Shelter.Thanks for your opinions.

6dB, but why is this a problem? Why does the phono have to be at the same volume setting as the CD player? It is generally agreed that the further up the volume control is the better so the CD player is really the problem.

If you like the Shelter just turn it up a little and enjoy it.
