Some older CDs play much lower than newer ones


Noticed today that there is are discernible differences in volume with some of my older CDs compared with newer ones. I have to almost double the volume level when listening to some of them. I would not think output would not diminish over time with CDs or could this be a signal that the CD is needing replacing? It is old...a Cal Audio Icon II. Thanks.

On my PAS Audio preamp, setting the volume @ 20 needs to be boosted to 40 for older CDs. Thanks for your response....maybe I will focus more on my LPs.
