I learn a lot from what you say Tony, but I may turn the volume down out of politeness, or so that they can hear me. The reason that I do not turn it off, is because at that moment there are not more important matters than hearing my music.I was talking on the phone. As usual I had the music as loud as I could and still clearly hear the person on the phone. My dad said to turn the music down. I said "why, I can hear ok?" He said maybe they cannot hear me. That is why I turn the music down. It is the same as seeing a cop on the street, I immediately back off the gas, whether I am speeding or not.
The fact that for thirty years my pre-amp's loudness adjusted the music to the ears ability to hear at each volume, is just another reason that I never expected any degradation of sound.
