At the moment I have my turntable connected to my amp via the tape input. There's also a phono input and an auxiliary input on my amp as well as a second tape input. The sound when connected to a tape input sounds a bit thin and I have to use the bass and treble knobs to get a decent sound and when connected via the aux input the sound is far too trebly. However when I connect the turntable via the phono input I get a nice full sound but the volume is far too f*cking loud. Even having the volume knob up a couple of notches is far too loud.

Does anyone know what is causing this? As far as I know my turntable has a built-in preamp.
It's the preamp that is causing the extra volume, the phono input has RIAA eq cct added whereas the tape input doesn't and that is why you have to play with the tone controls.
