Need to turn volume all the way up with cartridge

I am using a Madrigal Carnegie One 25 millivolt output and have to turn the volume all the way up for decent volume. Now my question is do I need to get a better phono stage that can amplify the sound or what causes it.

60db of gain should be fine for the Skala but you should play with the loading if you can try between 100 and like 470 if possible.

Pdxhdhunter .25mV is pretty low you need at least 66db of gain as John said....
