| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? There was a thread not unlike this one just a few weeks ago. It inspired me to write an article on this very topic. If anyone would like to read it, you can find it here. | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @nonamesleft4me "I like it to have the same frequency balance as live music, which only happens when you crank it" Bingo! Give that man the giant stuffed Pokemon! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @jonwolfpell "Rolling Stones “Can’t You Hear Knocking” on their Sticky Fingers album, 100+ db as it was meant to be heard!" Word! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @guscreek "Some music Must be played loud and deep to convey its meant experience imo. " IMO too! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @dogberry I hear ya (no pun intended). Probably headed there myself! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @mitch2 Temporary insanity - higher than above | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @pinwa All great points! I was mainly interested in some very rough numbers. Clearly this survey is far from scientific! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @firstonetallguy "The emotional feeling after 1 to 2 hours of Music: Life is wonderful, all is right in the world." I'm right there with you! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @mulveling I take a similar approach. Tend to play louder. Try to take breaks. And when the top end isn't right, forget about it. But when the top end is right? And the mids? And the bottom end? When the record is extended well at both and gett... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @whart Glad to hear someone out there is doing record shootouts! That's a big part of my listening. I totally agree that every record has an ideal listening level. The level at which it best comes to life. However I find with shootouts that it ... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? "Depends on the situation for me. Got off work from a swing shift at the mill and have had a couple good bourbons, then 90db+. In that moment I want to feel the music to my core. Regular day just enjoying some tunes I am at 70-80db. And a good sys... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Thanks for the responses! To be honest, I was expecting some lower numbers. It seems lately when I listen to another audiophile's system they're playing it at lower volumes. Glad to hear some of you are cranking it up a bit! | |
| Fine tuning the system. Where do you start and how do you proceed ? I strongly agree that source material has a HUGE impact on how a system will sound, and the right "LP pressings" is the source material that offers the most potential for reaching the pinnacle of this hobby. However, I'd say that using a record t... | |
| Warm sounding phono cartridge I agree with chipcalzone, this is very clearly a setup issue. If azimuth is off, you will definitely hear more noise from the record than if azimuth is set right, or more right than you have it. And in my experience, thinness in the sound, to the... | |
| Legacy Focus 20/20 Speakers AMP/Pre Amp I have a pair of Legacy Focus speakers from near that era and they are wonderful and run very well with low power ( I use a 35wpc SS amp). Assuming they are voiced similar to the Focus I have, they will be very hard to beat, especially at that pri... |
