Is a piece of music played at volume 5 the same as music played at volume 100?

No, the one played at volume 100 is louder.

If I play "F�r Elise" at volume 5, and then play "F�r Elise" at volume 100, is it the same piece of music?

Is the experience of the same piece of music different on a $100 stereo as on a $10.000 stereo.

Hint: usually the music on better systems is more clear, no noise and stuff.

I don't know about stereos costing $10,000, but speaking from experience, the music does tend to be clearer and over-all sounds finer on a better sound system.

So to answer you're question, I think the experience of listening to F�r Elise would be a better experience on a finer and more expensive sound system then a weak and inexpensive stereo.

What happens when the music gets louder, apart from being louder? What is the effect of louder music?

DD:

Is there an epistemic issue you're attempting to address in this thread? If so, you may want to state it more directly. If not, I don't think this thread belongs in Philosophy. Should I move it?

Like a book, we don't reveal the plot/answer in the begining.

Where would you move it to?

The analogy should be springing in your eyes, but I guess it isn't.

I can't move faster with this. So if that warrants a moving, feel free

Like a book, it will be tossed aside if its readers are unable to discern a plot given a reasonable amount of reading!

I do indeed think that I see an analogy, which is why I asked instead of simply moving the thread. Your assurance is enough for me to leave it here for the time being. Thanks!
