Curious to see if the majority of people here still feel the need to adjust their volume controls and/or bass/treble controls when playing a CD during normal hours (If you'd lower the volume because that's late at night & might bother someone, that scenario doesn't count)?

I seem to find that for CD's originally recorded before 1980 or so and remastered I have to play them at a volume of "21" on my receivers volume scale to get optimum dynamics & not tick off the neighbors, yet for CD's recorded after 1980, generally I have to lower the volume to "18" or "19" in terms of proportion. Am I alone on this, or is this normal.

I absolutely don't fiddle with my bass & treble controls no matter the CD, what about you guys?

Appreciate your answers.
