I feel I need somewhat higher volume knob position (12 vs. 11) to achieve the same loudness, as I’m used to.
Can it be an aging cart? I have Kiseki Purple Heart, that is about 4-5 years old.
What else could possibly be a reason for an output drop?
Nothing else has changed in the system.
Actually one thing did- I replaced a metal volume knob with an ebony one, but I was pretty careful in aligning the volume dot
on the new knob with 0 position on the volume control.
