OK. Now on my old receiver, I turned the volume knob up to 11 and knew that I had maxed it out. Basically, I knew that at the halfway point it was pretty loud but not in danger of distortion.
In other words, I had a knob that gave visual and solid feedback as to how loud I wanted it without causing damage to anything.
My new one?
What the heck is -10db? Or 0db? or 10Db?
What is the comfortable halfway point? At what db level am I going to cause damage to either the unit or the speakers?f
What was wrong with a potentiometer everyone understood how to use?
I have a feeling Spinal Tap wouldn't be anywhere near as funny if he'd said, "the amp goes to 25db."
