Default Vinyl vs. CD audio level

STEVEN LIBURD:
I am experimenting with converting my vinyl collection to CD. Perhaps it
is my equipment, but it seems that the volume level of my vinyl is
somewhat lower than my CDs.


You are trying to compare two analog signals. Analog signals from the
turntable and analog signals from the CD Player are subject to many analog
parameters: cartridge sensitivity, phono preamp gain, CDP DAC and output
stages. Also two CDP's can have different analog output levels for the same
disc; obviously, digital output levels are exactly the same.
