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.

Music is therapy. Concerts can be therapeutic.
When i therapeutically need Rip This Joint or Communication Breakdown the decibel level is irrelevant ...however many db that ends up being.
Time is best kept short at those levels, and I’m thrilled to learn that I have about 3-4 hours before I hit the auditory danger zone (admittedly, I fell asleep one night with a  bluray edition of Close To The Edge c/w  extras clocking over 6 hours.....ears rang for days but equilibrium was regained...!)
Standing waves are my main limiting factor when twisting that dial....
I’d like to add that after an exceedingly  loud session I usually don’t listen to my system for a few days.
The danger/fear of developing tinnitus is real enough to keep me in check.
