Stereo speakers far too sensitive

Interesting. I think the booster board is there to drive a higher
wattage STK module or whatever it uses. Its a simple amp &
cap coupled so a snap to eliminate.

If the VC goes to ground on one end be sure it is ! A cracked pot
could do it to.

Last thing you probably know. If you plug a phono with a ceramic cartridge
into the magnetic cart input it will blast you out of the house. This
was a common problem when someone added a TT to a stereo & got the wrong one.

Yea I'm just feeding a line level source into the line level auxiliary input. The record player is plugged into the phono inputs and the receiver is for magnetic cartridges which my turntable is.

Even FM and AM are far too loud as well. I'm feeling that the best fix for this really might be to just attenuate the speakers themselves, maybe an inline attenuator on the speaker wire without installing it in the speakers themselves (since it doesn't have this issue with other amps).
