I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume?


I suppose this is an open question to any of you fine people, but I'm exclusively analog myself and particularly curious to hear from those of you who listen to records.

What would you say is your normal listening volume? Perhaps measure it and post the db's?

Thanks!

Calm levels (30%): 65-75dB peaks

Regular (60%): 83-90dB peaks

Stadium Levels (10%): 95-110dB peaks

For many, people will either listen louder or softer because their systems render tonality differently at different volumes (e.g. a tube preamp's volume will can determine the amount of "tubey-ness" and often sounds better starting at 11 o'clock"). But for really great systems, tonality, coherence, and realism are retained regardless of the system.
