Volume?


I recently acquired a CJ Sonographe SG 3 with an Audioquest PT 7 arm and a Blue Point cart. I am using it with a Marantz 2226 receiver and Paradigm Studio 40 speakers. I'm new to vinyl so I have a question. I notice that some albums seem to play louder than others and also it seems like I need to turn the volume up around the 12 o'clock position to get decent playing levels. I do have the TT plugged into the phono input with the ground attached. Any advice or is this the norm? Thanks again for any advice.

I agree with Lloydc, what is the problem? Most volume knobs are at their peak performance between the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position. So if you happy with the volume with the knob at 12 o'clock, everything is wonderful.

Also, some albums are recorded at different levels, so you may hear some difference, but it shouldn't be that great. If you have to turn the volume knob up to 2 o'clock or down to 10 o'clock there could be another issue though.
