At what volume do you typically listen?



I have a Mark Levinson 326S preamp which a friend and I call "The Venerable One". I realize that this is subjective, but until I get to 45 out of a total of 80, the speakers really begin to sing. This is just past 12:00 on the dial.

I was curious to know where others listen on the "dial". I haven't checked with my Radio Shack SPL meter, but what is a typical range at which people enjoy listening? THank you.

My unit is supposed to adjust volume in db and using a spl meter in conjunction with my volume control it appears reasonably accurate within +/- 1db. Based on that my early morning listening ranges from 60 to 66 db, 69 to 75 db as my mid-volume 78 to 84 db at my loudest. The majority of my listening is done from 72 to 78 db.

You know your point is absolutely valid and I think it may have simply been a coincidence when I checked that they matched so closely. Of course all the factors you mention and more come into play.
