I'm using a Technics turntable with a new Grado Red cartridge and a NAD PP2 phono pre-amp into my 1070's aux and have to run the volume to at least -5db or so to get any volume from a good quality disc. My cd and dvd players can be very loud at like -14db. I assume this is just the nature of the beast.
Anyone else experience this?
Everything sounds great, I just hate to have to get close to that magical zero db mark!
