Turning the volume up


Hi. I'm new to analog and just purchased a Mobile Fidelity Ultradeck table. After completing my set up and putting on my first album i find i really need to turn the volume knob up much higher than when  I'm  listening to my digital source. Do I have a compatibility problem with my phono stage and cartridge?   
  I'm using a Belles Aria integrated amp. 

Thanks

I use this outboard attenuator on my CDP to lower the volume to match my phono. You are better off using the volume in the upper range of the dial on your preamp. BTW, between 12 and 1 is perfect!
