EP UMS JOURNAL

[Shannon]

Uhh... Not sure I get what you mean, but my guess is how many times I have to click up the volume button on my phone which is about 13/16 at this level, using VLC, I can get it up to between -40dB and -30dB.

You have an iPhone?  They have 16 clicks, where android phones usually have 15.

My current phone is a cheap-ass POS I bought because I was tired of paying $$$ only to have to pay more $$$ a few months later when the screen inevitably shattered.  I have 15 clicks, and I usually play my subs at 12 or 13/15.  It makes a faint crackling sound at that level because it's a cheap phone. Usually starts major crackling at 14.  All volumes still have an effect.
