No, the loud turns off the picking it apart thing because I can't hear myself think......lol. I really just enjoy loud music, and the reason I'm happier loud is my volume is usually dictated by how much I'm enjoying the music currently playing. When a favorite is playing, or just something that is hitting the spot particularly well at the moment, that's what gets me to crank it. When I'm enjoying the music, I'm typically not thinking about anything...........really the part I love the most. I don't tune loud, and other than crossover points that allow me to really push it, I don't tune just to play loud. Loud is just a byproduct of my love for great music. The issues that bring me to retune sometimes vary, sometimes its a desire to try to dig out more depth, others it may be for bass coherence, a rather frequent one that I feel may be my hearing changes, because it bothers me the most, is image shift in the upper midrange/lower treble. I think this is linked to physical variables because I'll regularly tune this issue into circles over a few days time, and previous settings will sound spot on again. Overall though, I think I just enjoy tinkering with my sound enough that I can't quit doing it!
