"ALLEGEDLY"

1. "The ear has a logarithmic response.

To make your amplifier sound twice as loud you must boost the power by 10 times. (+10 dB)

If you only double the power (+3 dB), then you will only just be able to detect the increase in volume."


Truthfully, I can find sources which say + 1 db is "just barely noticeable." But then, that's why I used the word ALLEGEDLY when citing 3dB.
