How about this:

Should I mention the classic SP article by Michael Fremer where he claims
that volume controls should be avoided and that instead you should swap
phono cartridges to change listening levels.

Aren't volume controls just a way to introduce amplitude distortion?
And how is swaping out phono cartrages all that different from
selecting the perfect microphone for the job?
Anyway, there's only one volume at which things should be listened
to, the volume they were recorded at. CDs should list the proper
listening level so folks don't go introducing amplitude distortion;
much like fine beer that lists the proper drinking temperature!
