Anyhoo, moot AFAIAC, as I can not get a recording from my vinyl setup
without having the slider set at the absolute minimum or I get clipping, as
anyone who has bothered to listen to any of the wacky clips I post from time
to time**, will tell. So I'm plotting to construct a little attenuator which
I envisage as not much more than an Alps pot in a little box with phono
sockets IN and OUT, wired accordingly.
Too simple? Am I missing summat here? (Like everything you buy seems
to have
a tiny little resistor stuck in it for some reason!)

Using a microphone level input instead of line level?

More likely an EAR tube preamp that develops rather more than the
average line-level voltage, I'd say! I think we've been here before...
