I was reading another board and one fellow was testing two different units. He made the comment that it didn't sound as loud with his new unit set at xx dB as his old unit set at xx dB.

I started wondering if it should sound the same??? My 7 year old Kenwood receiver has the volume scale in dB, but I never gave it much thought. If I wanted it louder, I turned it up. If I wanted it less loud, I turned it down. I didn't care what the dBs were!!

I guess that it is just another case of fancy gear displaying information that really doesn't mean much.
