My meters show -40 db or so when listening. Current setting is 590 on the Devialet and don't think I could/should push it higher to get to 0db. This is roughly the same as the PC 1 setting another owner shared. Thoughts?
I think you refer to my cartridge, but is a cheaper PC-3. However I have more or less your settings. I cannot test it right now but I believe that your meter's reading are more in line with what I see from mine cartridge. As result generally my listening volume is around -20dB.
