[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 3327522, member: 555320"] 3db = maximum gain by doubling power (after power compression/etc it will be less) and technically twice the acoustic power 6db - 10db = twice as loud to the ear (depends on frequency, etc) You probably noticed a change in "sound quality" because of the increased power which provides a slight but not overbearing increase in output. Most people perceive changes in volume levels as "sounding better". If it snaps a little harder on a fast punchy bass lines most people would describe it as being more "crisp" sounding, for example.
