Output Voltage

Hello, I was wondering why the line output voltage of a typical phono preamp was so much lower than the line output voltage of a cd player.

The cartridge is used on the mm side of the creek, and matches pretty well, i'm just wondering why the preamp doesn't put out as much signal, as my cd player.

Especially with the 10x5 cart.
