Assuming both volume controls have good sonic quality, the optimum settings would be those that best balance between noise and overload distortion.

This is not that easy to figure out, and (IMHO) the problem arises because of a lack of standards for gain and signal levels in domestic audio. Most components have too much gain, to allow for the occasional combination that needs it. So in most cases, you would set one volume control to optimize the signal levels, and leave it there. Then use the other one for adjusting levels on a daily basis.

I have a white paper posted on the Bottlehead web site under the "Community" heading, which provides more details than most people want (!) - I have not been able to cut it down without leaving out things I think are important. It might be helpful.
