It's all good enjoy it all no matter what the volumn.osha has the standard of 80 db for 8 hour exposure above that prolonged can cause hearing problems. I ill turn it up > 100 db but only a song or two. Have fun enjoy life cuz sometimes it's too short.

I used to feel the need to play my music loud. But when I bought my new speakers one of the criteria I set was low volume listening. I find that I have really grown used to a much lower volume and less fatigue than before. I bought Sonus Faber Olympica Novas and find they deliver a full spectrum top to bottom. However there are certain cuts, e.g. Stranglehold by Nugent that just require higher volume although the quality remains the same. |
I listen mostly at 70-80dbs at my listening position and every now and then I’ll crank it up to 90db peaks, but that’s rare. Went and saw a local Pink Floyd cover band a few weeks ago. Really excellent show with a crazy amount of special effects and props. The ear plugs only came out for the intermission and then they went right back in. I sure don’t remember my ears hurting like this in my teens and twenties. |
@rvpiano , I don’t think 70db is “loud”. I designate that as “enjoyable”. I listen to anywhere between 65db to 75db, like you rightly said, to “make me get more involved in the music”. |
