Phono Output Volume is Too Low

I just finished installing a Music Hall MMF-5 turntable. It sounds nice but the volume is way low, about 1/4 that of other sources at full volume (typically I listen between 1/4 and 1/2 of full volume).
The Amp is a Creek 4330 integrated amp. It seems like a I need a phono pre-amp. I didn't think so since it's an integrated amp with an aux(phono) input.
So asuming I was wrong and need a phono pre-amp should I go with the Creek OBH-8 or what else do you suggest for a Goldring 1012GX MM cartridge.

Yeh, the Creek 4330 phono is an add-on. It sais Aux/phono, because it is just another standard line-in without the phono board. If AudioAdvisor does not have the board for the 4330 (the listing I see is for the 5330), then contact the folks at Spearitsound.com

Thanks for the info and the leads. I didn't realize that the phono was an option.
