Default Volume Level of "Tuner" vs that of "CD" "Tape" or "Phono" on my home stereo, boombox, or car receiver

Make up some hypercompressed CDs, and play those.


Just play modern CD's then, it's *impossible* to compress them any more
than they already are!



Depends which ones. There are still some well-made audio CDs being made
and sold. I don't even know that the majority of all new audio CDs are
hypercompressed. It could well be just an objectionable minority.



OK, I'll be more specific, it's the VAST majority of pop, hip-hop, rap CD's
and a very large percentage of country etc. these days.
But yes it's a bit less for jazz, and definitely less for classical.
