How do you listen?


I listen to a lot of (classical) music. Most of the time I try to listen at concert hall volumes (really loud) so as to try and recreate the feeling I have  being in the hall.  But  recently I’ve discovered I can get satisfaction listening at moderate levels.  There is a certain relaxed quality to listening this way, and sometimes I think I hear more of what’s in the music.

I'm happiest at about 80db. Sometimes a bit south of 80. Sometimes a bit north. It all depends on the quality of the recording or the style of music being played. My days of wanting to blast my stereo are now long past.
I just realized that I actually don't listen at 80db very often. It's usually closer to 75 or even slightly less.
