Volume seems too low

I have an integrated amp and have to turn the volume up over 2/3 to get it even close to loud. I have the high/low gain switch set to high. Is this normal or, more likely, what have I hooked up wrong?

Your issue seems extreme though so I agree that it's likely a cartridge gain issue...or phono preamp issue. If it's not LPs that are the issue it's time to send the amp in for repair maybe.
