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!

120dB was said to be the sound pressure level of the loudest concert ever in 1976 (The Who, at Charlton Athletic Grounds, using 76,000 watts), a record that stood for ten years. You can ask Peter Townsend whether he regrets that...

60-65dB for me, measured at the listening position. With half an ear left, I'm cautious about playing too loud!
