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!

Bought a SPL meter about 5 years ago and find it a very valuable tool for high end audio set up and understanding my system better. WTS I tend to stay around 72db with highs peaking to 75 to 76db. My system is a very refined setup with full range speakers, all tube with vinyl played 90% of the time, I am in my mid 70s and spin about 4 to 6 albums most evenings and I have reasonably good hearing. I have never had a preamp with remote control and bought one 2 years ago and while watching my SPL and playing music I was so surprised at the differences in the SPL between the different tracks, now I know why people have to have a remote. As a side note, I would very much like to know how to establish the SPL on my headphone setup. Enjoy the music
