Hello. Signed up to ask a quick question that googling didn't help with.
Windows taskbar volume controls - is there any downside to reducing this to less than 100%?
I have a new Peachtree Nova 125 with my also-new B&W PM1's - my small computer room is more than filled by moving the volume dial only a tiny bit. It makes volume control fairly challenging.
But if I, for example, put the Windows volume control to 50%...when I adjust the amp volume to be the equivalent of roughly the same volume as I had as my baseline before reducing the Windows volume (unscientific - no SPL meter) the output seems to lack punch and fullness.
Psychosomatic? Actual?
ie, PC volume = 100%, amp volume dial = 8 o'clock
vs
PC volume = 20%, amp volume dial = 11 o'clock
am I losing anything in the latter scenario? downsides?
the latter gives me adequate volume control. the former seems to sound better, but i'm open to reassurance that it's all in my head
cheers
