Regrettably not. I think the level was a bit higher with my former cartridge so I suspect the Grado just has a low output. I guess there is no real problem running at -5db except when switching sources I'll have to be careful to lower the volume.
I may upgrade the phono stage in the future to a Belari tube unit anyhow.
Thanks for the response gonk.
