How to level match when comparing components?


Simple question-

When you are trying to compare components, say two CD players, it is often difficult to evaluate them effectively unless you can level match the volume levels pretty closely while A-B'ing them back and forth.

What is the simplest way to do this with a reasonable level of accuracy?

You cannot level match, unless you are picking a specific frequency, typically 1000 HZ. Music is not so simple. I use a verity of equalizations which are stored in memory and the perceived level changes with each one. Therefore, I agree that long term listening is essential to "evaluate them correctly", which was in fact the original posters declared goal.
