I did a survey here aaaaaages ago when I wrote Audio_3587.

The results of my survey can be found as an ansi art graph in a comment in
the source code.

Assuming those results as a known.
My solution was NOT what *I* would have chosen without the survey ...the
end result was to make the bottom 27 step 2dB and then 1dB
thereafter. Then I added a "volume displayed as dB" button - and that
removes the problem in it's entirity. Every amp I have seen in the last 5
years (alomst without exceptions) displays in dB - I wonder if they all had
the same problem?

PS. A little humour:
after owning my "home-theatre" amp for about 18months, I realised the
humour in the fact that my amp runs up to +12dB ..."Most people have amps
that go up to 10, ours goes up to 11" [spinal tap] ...mine goes up to 12
:P LOL
