Never had that experience; never felt the need to reach for the volume after initially setting it for a session (except to gradually turn it up of course! - never to turn it down). Are you sure RG is active on your setup/player? :-) I don't keep switching between radio and library so the difference in relative levels doesn't bug me. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
