Level matching for a/b testing?


We all know that 'louder sounds better', so practically speaking, how do you set equal levels for a/b listening tests?

Because now at least you are thinking about it, and maybe a little less likely to waste your time with meters and stuff like all the nice but ultimately less helpful people will say.

Use your phone with a dB level app in it.
Play a set "reduced level 1khz sine wave" so it’s at the same volume control position setting as where you normally listen at, note the positions for each of the pieces you want to a/b then play music on both at those volume positions.

Hoping won’t get ’er done.
Not ALL responses just plain old rude.
Only ~ 92% of ’em.

Try level matching at the source first if available.
See what I mean? Instead of learning to listen, becoming a better listener, they have you messing with meters, reading readouts. Also notice the guys giving said advice are the most well-known non-listeners on the site. Confirmation bias on stilts. But I guess if it makes you feel good, that's what it's really all about.
