I am a little intrigued by your earlier post re phone hiss, because it does look like you suffer a little less than I do with this. Plus, we have cartridges with very similar output levels. I have an Ortofon Cadenza Black, which outputs .35mV. When you say you have to go right up to the speaker to hear this, what volume setting do you have on the Dev?
I wonder if there is another factor at play here?
