Vinyl vs. CD audio level

levels.
On my stereo system, I have to turn the volume control full up to
listen to vinyl,
and way down for anything else. Maybe its compression the question is
about ?
Um, you are running your turntable into a phono input ? Phono cartridges
have a nominal output of several thousandths of a volt whereas CDs are
usually around 2v.
Also Tape Outs on phono-preamps or amplifiers are usually around half a
volt, versus 2v for a CD player.
