Hi CB,

Note I said up front I'm not an expert on electronics. That is precisely why I used words like "most" and "may".

My intent in posting this topic was simply to suggest that needing to increase the relative volume control setting when using a different amp may not be a bad thing. Many times I've read comments where someone discounts an amp simply because they don't hear the same volume level as they did with their old amp at a given setting.

As your comments suggest, along with those added by wheezer, it is more complicated than that.

Comparisons between amps should be made with the same output level (measured by dBs or voltage), regardless of where the volume control is set.
