Typically, digital sources have higher output gain than that of a TT/phonostage. So when wired to a preamp, the TT's lower gain means you need to turn the volume control higher than digital sources.
Volume levels
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I find that I have to boost the volume levels more when I play records softly than when I listen to digital softly. I find that at low levels, records do not equal the intensity that low levels on digital do even if they emit the same number of decibels. I find that I’m forced to listen to analog more loudly to achieve the same measure of SQ.
How about you?

Yes, +1 @bigtwin |
I know digital output is generally higher than analog. My point is that AT THE SAME VOLUME LEVEL I hear more detail in digital. And, at least on my analog system I get virtually no external noise, usually as quiet as digital. |
