no access to a DB meter but loud enough to where i can clearly hear the background sounds in a classical recording [musicians breathing, clothes and sheet music rustling, chairs creaking, hall rumble, tape hiss]
How loud are you typically listening?
Typically 75 to 80dB. Really loud is 90dB and I'm never over, and I mean never, 95dB. I'm using a professional SPL meter, C weighted, slow response. Just curious.
