Proper use volume control?


1) To move the soundstage forward or back to where it should be or where you like it.

2) To get fuller details from PPP to all the way to FFF.

3) To get the room playing as loud as you imagine/remember in a concert hall/stadium setting.

4) To "fill the room" without creating unwanted wall and other reverberations/resounances.

5) Any other reasons.

To give the user the volume they want to stay happy,as long as nothing gets abused.Everyone has their own preference,and I don't think you'll find a common standard.Younger people seem to lean toward louder in general.
Mine only has a GAIN knob. I have no way to adjust volume. Should I take it back and get a volume knob?
If you live in a small space, perhaps a 'volume' knob would be useful.
Want to have guests over for a party in your tiny efficiency apt, crank up the 'volume' knob and have a warehouse size pad. (like Harry Potter party tents)
One could shrink the car to park in more easily just by lowering the car's 'volume' knob!
In a bar getting hassled, turn up your personal volume to overshadow the bully...
But also remember Gain is a kind of laundry detergent....
Ahhhhhh......
