The volume control on every system has a sweet spot or sweet zone where the music in your room to your ears sounds best. It can change slightly from recording to recording or even from genre to genre. The numbers on the dial are merely reference point so you can find that place again and are otherwise pretty meaningless.
The psychological factor
Since I got a new amplifier a while ago, I have hesitated putting the volume control on the preamp past 12 o’clock because that was never a good choice with previous amps. I was afraid I would overload the system. I now find that factor was depriving me of the best sound I could obtain.
Placing it now at 12 or above, I’m now finally enjoying what the amp is truly capable of.
I wonder if anyone else has experienced anything like that.
