As I understood you use phone out of Nomad. It can be impedance matching problem. I have some old Nomad, so I can do a test and will tell you result, so you will know certainly where a problem is.

Originally this is what I expected to be the point of conversation. I am interested to hear what you find out in terms of absolute values.

I tried Nomad II and it's very loud, so I can adjust volume to make it on the same level as I get it from CD. Anyway, it doesn't prove that you have incorrect installation. Do you have any friend with command, so you can compare?
