I'm pretty sure they don't rate receivers and amplifiers at absolute
maximum output. Beyond "0 db" there's considerable degradation in the
signal-to-noise ratio, so they rate them at some point below that.

Kind of hard for that to be the case when the dial goes to +15.

If I'm not mistaken, the "0 db" point is the maximum rated output power.
But that's a big "if".

I have this nifty new receiver, which sounds great--a huge improvement

What puzzles me is the volume control: Minimum volume is -90dB (mute),
and maximum is +15dB.
Huh?
What is zero dB? Is it an arbitrary point? Is it linked to some
undisclosed property of the unit?
I can tell you that 0dB is too loud to be in the room with using the
tuner, barely tolerable with a CD, and just a bit loud with an LP.
Otherwise, the scale makes no sense to me.
