I sold Yamaha hi-fi in mid 70's. They taught the concept based on the Fletcher-Munson curves and it worked well. You set your maximum comfortable volume first, then turned it down with the loudness control. (Variable, not just a switch). I bet somebody to write an accurate digital version that could be an add-on feature for a miniDSP unit.
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
