The only reason I can think of to do something like this is to learn to judge volume. Listen to some music, take your reading, play the next thing at a volume you think is the same, take another reading. When the readings match pretty close you have a good sense of volume. From that point on toss the stupid meter it will only distract you from what really matters which is learning to listen.
What is a cost effective way to level match, for comparing different hifi components?
Over the next little while I am planning on trying out some new DACs in my stereo system, and I know that it is important to make sure that sound levels are carefully matched when comparing. So I would like to ask others here how they do this? I realize that these days we all have smartphones and can download apps to measure SPLs. Is this accurate enough for careful comparisons. I wouldn’t mind getting some ideas from others on how they do this, and what might be the best way.
