Is louder better?

Agree with the thought that each track has optimal level to sound best. However, I think each particular room should be taken into consideration as well. Too loud in one room but just right in another.

If you're looking to find a natural volume level, go to a party. Wait until there's no music blasting on the stereo. Listen to people speak.  Listen to shouts and laughter.  Listen to little kids yelling. Listen as folks play acoustic instruments.

For sure the volume must be set optimally, between loud and too quiet, music live between the threshold of hearing and listening....

I find louder better as long as I stay below 90db.
