How Loud Do You Listen??? Do You Know?????????


I found myself having to re-balance the speakers in my HT today….. well, I have both the digital and analog Radio Shack meters (wouldn’t have bought the analog…but thought the Great Dane had eaten the digital one so….). well, I sat around tonight after setting up the Halloween decorations listening to music….. and had the SPL meters out…….

I must say I was surprised to find out that I was listening to music @ 94 dBs! (FWIW It was Elton John Funeral For a Friend, SACD). I know I have demo’d my system for friends at much higher volumes… I’m afraid to document the levels there…….

I must admit, my stereo/HT handled this level perfectly! I could have gone louder…if I needed, but I just don’t think I do!!!

I’m curious if any of you have documented how loud you listen to your tunes at??

FWIW I don’t normally listen at this level…it was a good day….

My Rat Shack meter is now measuring between 65-75 db's
in my smallish second room.
If Slappy *was listening* @ 340 db's, well, uhhh, he should have no blood left in his head !! Call 911 !!
Are you there Slappy ? Slappy, can ya hear me boy !!
He's probably at the Space Shuttle launch site waiting for the countdown (up close) !!
