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."

Interesting. I believe this is just a coincidence because the actual db at your listening chair would depend on the speakers' sensitivity and the distance you sit from them. Try different speakers or move closer or farther and the readings will be very different.
