I've always said that there should be a "calibration track" provided on the disk so we can set the "preferred listening level". I guess this is too hard for the recording industry.
What is the ideal volume setting?
As every CD seems vary in terms of maximum and minimum loudness, I find that I have to play a good ways into a disc before I find the ideal volume dial setting to get the most out of the music. This is very disconcerting as I usually have to start the disc all over after I find the best setting. I wonder if anyone else experiences this.
I listen mostly to classical. I don’t know if the same applies to other types of music.
