I imagine manufacturers stopped including it to cut costs, figuring correctly that most wouldn't complain. Like erik, I have it, use it when appropriate.
Loudness - Why has the industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer?
I listen to music at all times of the day and night (solid sleep eludes me the older I get). My favorite times are when the family is gone and I can select the listening level, mostly moderate to higher volumes. But the simply fact is I find myself listen at lower levels much more often then my preferred listening mode.
Piggybacking on a discussion regarding low level listening here on Audiogon, I'm posing the question: Why has the majority of industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer?
I look forward to your input

bluorion122 posts06-06-2020 5:54amI had a Denon integrated amp many years ago with a loudness button---loved it at lower volumes. I'm looking into getting a new integrated soon and the Luxman integrated is my #1 choice since they still have a loudness button. I wish the new Yamaha's had them.The Luxman integrated amps are great, far beyond the inclusion of the Loudness button. |
