Well, saying "30% louder" when you really mean "30% higher voltage" is a way of pulling the wool over uncritical or nontechnical readers' eyes (ears?). I can readily believe that somebody out there is cutting records 2.28dB hotter than usual, and making a big deal over it. In the late 40s and early 50s a lot of 78s were being cut at remarkably high levels because it was now possible to do so (with hot cutting styli and lots of compression). Nobody seemed to care that these records were nearly untrackable -- with the cartridges of the day, or for that matter with today's cartridges. But they were LOUD.
