Not volume, but the speed setting on the treadmill at the gym cannot be left with an odd decimal. 12.6 is ok, 12.5 makes me stumble. 😡

so why do you increment on a linear scale then?

Decrement. (And, yes...)

Point of order Cougs.

Decibels are a logarithmic scale, not a linear one, which I think was the point of this comment.

Edit: ....which, having read this back again, you already knew right? As you were.

Indeed. I didn't build the bloody thing, I just twiddle the knob.

I take it back.

Having just spun the wheel (turtles get real) with no source audio present, the volume control goes from -80dB to +16dB so I have no clucking idea what it's supposed to be representing. Around -24dB is a good clear listening volume that doesn't shake books off shelves.

My Technics amp goes from -76dB to 0dB - I'm sure there's a very good reason for that of which I'm not aware of.
