Volume differs a lot for different inputs?

I have a Technics 1200 turntable (DJ, I know) that requires me to crank to volume dial to max for desirable sound. Swith to CD input and volume dial is barely at the 1/4 mark. I was told maybe the turntable needs its own preamp - because its a DJ turntable. Any truth to this? Any ideas?

Phono level and line level will always have a difference in volume settings.

One is a low level input and one is a high level input.

Do you have a dedicated "phono" input on the unit you are using?

Also, this has nothing to do with the Technics being a "DJ" device.
