Level matching for a/b testing?


We all know that 'louder sounds better', so practically speaking, how do you set equal levels for a/b listening tests?

See what I mean? Instead of learning to listen, becoming a better listener, they have you messing with meters, reading readouts. Also notice the guys giving said advice are the most well-known non-listeners on the site. Confirmation bias on stilts. But I guess if it makes you feel good, that's what it's really all about. 
Because now at least you are thinking about it, and maybe a little less likely to waste your time with meters and stuff like all the nice but ultimately less helpful people will say.
Yeah that's the story. I guess starting out we all need whatever extra we can find. Probably play the same track over and over again too I bet. None of which is necessary- and for as long as it is, this alone is saying you are not there yet. Think about it. If you are so easily deceived, it can only be due to not being aware of the volume difference. If you are unaware of the volume difference, then what else are you missing? And you are gonna rely on what, a meter? To make up for what you can't hear? You see how little sense it makes?
