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.

Dear friends : The most critical and precious audio instrument in our room/system are each one of us the whole ears that we need/have to take care always because damages on it are irreversible.

Normally I listen at 74db-83db and only when I'm testing/evaluating/comparing some audio items I listen briefly at over 90db with peaks at over 100db and in those tests I listen after the high SPL at low SPL around 62db-70db.

High constant SPL always makes and damages the ears sensitivity and even not so high SPL with a system with high distortions levels can do the same with out we can be aware: here the culprit are those high distortions levels more than the SPL.

So I think that we have try to put at minimum any kind of developed distortions in each one of us room/system.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
