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!

65 - 75 db normally.

+1 As my system got better, the volume came down. When I used to crank it into the 80's or higher it was because I was trying to cover up a high noise floor or lack of dynamic range... although I did not realize it at the time. 

"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 system will do both with ease."

 

Yeah totally. Sometimes you just want your hair blown back.
