Volume Increase of decrease as system improves

I go both ways on this one.

Mine volume has gone way down. I used too have a system that had to be turned up to bring out the smallest detail. Now my background (noise floor) is completely silent and I can hear more detail than ever at low volumes. I'm thankful this is the direction it went.

I think listening volume for me is dependent on a couple of different factors. The piece of music, my mood and what I am doing at the time all seem to have an impact on volume level. I also seem to notice a direct correlation between alcohol consumption and volume. Although I have very good extended bass response, sometimes I like to feel it as well as hear it.......usually accompanied by alcohol consumption of course!
