I don't change the volume but I do understand the point. For me, RFI manifested as unpleasant IM distortion giving a hard edge to high frequency sounds (like soprano voices and high violin notes). I would turn down the volume to render the hardness relatively inaudible. Once I installed the Wave cables the hard edge disappeared. I could play at any volume I chose, as loud as I wished, without the sound being unpleasant or fatiguing.It is weird how we all experience things differently. I find the effect of cleaning up rfi is to allow me to considerably reduce (not increase!) volume down from -34DB to - 42DB.
In practice I did not then begin listening at a higher volume, but it was nice not to be dodging that hardness any more. The sound also improved in other ways, which I attribute to the quality of the signal cable Nick uses.
