Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 19:40:21 +0100 I normally leave mine set to 88... I use the volume control on the headphone cable to regulate the volume to my ears. Anything above 92 seems to cause distortion on louder tracks, 96 on quieter tracks. If I have it any lower, thaen you cannot hear the music above the background noise when walking around a busy city centre at lunchtime...
