What DB level is best for judging audio equipment?


Just wondering what everyone sees as the best level overall. I need to crank it up to at least 90 DBs to hear a discernable difference. I'm 57 and have some HF hearing loss. How loud do you turn it up??

Ever since I swapped the Joseph’s for the Maggie’s I have found myself playing music a good 5db or more less than previous.
The Maggie’s just seem to reveal so much more detail without having to push them.
Now that is not saying they do not play loud,more that I do not really feel the need to play loud much lately.

So mid 70 to 80 dB is about it right now.
