I aim to achieve a scaled to my room proximity to what the music might sound like if I were to hear it live, in what I would imagine to be an appropriate setting. My room couldn't accomodate a symphony orchestra, so the volume would be scaled down considerably. On the other hand a recording of a solo recital in a rather small venue might be played at nearly live levels.
Schubert, that's a great idea, if you never changed gear, never changed rooms, ambient noise never changed, each track of every recording was consistent, only listened alone, and one's hearing never changed.
Still a great idea for a baseline. I'm surprised no has marketed little removable stickers for just such a purpose. Perhaps in different colors for different places, i.e. main room, car, bedroom, etc..
