What are you playing your downloads from Amazon Music on?
Amazon Echo (dot actually) bluetooth to my surround amp.

It's not quality audio at all - but for background noise with a wide variety of music it's fine. But you're right - I probably should get my cable repaired - or replaced - and plug the hi-fi stuff back in...........

Your ears won't last long
No they won't. I have permanent Tinnitus for the rest of my life mainly as a result of many very long and very loud music playing sessions and live gigs over the decades.

Seriously. Please - turn it down a bit. I wish I had.

Appreciate your concern Steve, thank you.

I've been involved with developing commercial speakers for much of my life and I'm pretty careful on the whole. My home speakers use a digital active crossover which allows my to set gain structure and maximum levels very accurately. Occasionally, if I listen loud for a little too long, I overstep the mark. I listened the new Ride album, Weather Diaries, earlier today at 0.5db attenuation, that was too loud.
