Is anyone here using a Zen Micro with an aux-ix jack or a tape adapter? If so, at what volume are you putting your Micro on while you listen? I'm trying to find out which level will give me the loudest sound without sacrificing audio quality.

Thanx

With the aux-in my car, I set the micro @ 20 with smart sound on and 17 with smart sound off. I do have the car stereo almost all the way up 40/50, but that's as loud as I'll play it (blaring down the highway with windows open). Plenty loud.

it depends on what you are putting music into. as long as its not clipping, it should be fine. in a bmw, i turn it all the way up. on an eclipse headunit i have in another car, i have it at 17. different devices are different.

With my tape adapter I usually set the volume to 18/25 when SVM is off and around 20 or 21 when its on. Works great

I second that... 20 to 21. I use this volume also for my pa2v2. its the best signal to noise ratio at the same time its not loud enough to clip for most of my music. I turn it up to full only when the amp is already maxed and the sound is not loud enough yet. This is for very low output songs

oh i didn't see that about the svm. mine is 20 to 21 without svm

i set my micro at 17-18 and set my stereo as high as i need/want it.

I have been setting my volume to 23/25, which makes the music from my Micro play at about the same volume as the cd player or radio. I'll probably reduce the volume to 21 to reduce noise though.

Even with the volume at 25/25, I never notice any clipping. What does clippind sound like?
