what about the idea that audio systems (speakers more so then anything else) seem to have a volume that they like to be played at and sound their best.
so is it the recording or your system?
Live events are almost always louder then what we listen to at home, probably a good thing or we would all be def by now, specially if rock is your music of choice. can't imagine how good or bad the old rockers hearing is now.
on that too loud, it bugs me when people say they listen to music at home above 100db nominal, your just killing your hearing. Honestly I would never take your world for anything about equipment and their sound as I would suspect your hearing ability, lets not even get into people in their late 60's and above that have lost some of their detail retrieval and high frequency's extension.
At 54, I'm suspect of my hearing ability now on micro detail retrieval and frequency extension. I get my hearing professionally checked every year, not the push the button when you hear a tone test either that's not that accurate (so I've been told by my doctor). I've found I have lost some high frequencies in my left ear mostly and see the degradation over time of all the rest of the freq ranges in both (almost 20 years I've done this in the military). We are all different but all of us will have hearing loss as we age some faster then others but it happens to all of us.
Take care of your hearing once lost its gone for ever.
ok I side stepped there on a rant sorry for that
